714 West 181st Street, Manhattan, NY 10033
The 6-story, 35-unit residential building at 714 West 181st Street in Washington Heights, owned by Vern Creamer and built in 1915, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing being a recent mold complaint from February 2025 that HPD was unable to inspect, and a heat/hot water issue from November 2024 that was reported as resolved. The building has faced multiple heating system failures, with notable complaints in 2022 and 2021, and has had significant problems with sanitation, including garbage storage issues in 2022 that resulted in violations, and multiple pest infestations reported in late 2022 affecting apartments 52 and 53. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with numerous complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between 2020-2023, though inspections generally found no violations.
There were also several notable environmental control board penalties related to elevator safety features in 2019-2020, and in 2022-2023, the building was issued violations regarding garbage storage and required bedbug reporting compliance. The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to various issues, with violations typically being addressed though some problems have recurred over time. For instance, multiple heating system complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building-wide heat regulation, while the most recent mold complaint in 2025 indicates continuing moisture-related issues.
The property has maintained relatively good records regarding bedbug reporting, showing zero infestations reported in the past three years, though there have been multiple pest control violations in the past. The building has undergone various repair and maintenance work as indicated by permit records from 2018-2019, including plumbing-related work. Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with some inspections noting rat activity in 2018-2019, though more recent inspections in 2023-2024 passed without issues, suggesting improvements in pest management.
