700 West 178th Street, Manhattan, NY 10033
The six-story, 45-unit building at 700 West 178th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Anderson Santos and built in 1920, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent months. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints and inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
The building is currently facing open violations related to a bathtub/shower plumbing issue and intercom system problems as of June 2025. Apartment 63 underwent an inspection in October 2024 which revealed several lead-based paint hazards, including peeling paint on walls, baseboards, and various surfaces, though these violations have been certified as corrected between late 2024 and early 2025. The property has a documented history of infrastructure concerns, including multiple complaints about the elevator system, though inspections in 2021 and 2024 found no violations.
Rodent activity appears to be an ongoing issue, with several inspections in 2025 confirming rat presence, following patterns of bait application throughout 2023. The building's recent service history includes multiple plumbing issues, water leaks, and heating system problems, with HPD inspections showing varying degrees of access and violation issuance. While the building's bedbug report shows no infestations in recent years, the persistent issues with basic services such as heat and plumbing, along with concerns about lead paint and rodent activity, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges for residents.
