701 West 180th Street, Manhattan, NY 10033
701 West 180th Street, a six-story New Law Tenement built in 1920 in Washington Heights, currently faces several pressing maintenance issues, most notably an open plumbing complaint regarding water supply from March 2025 and numerous heating/hot water complaints throughout early 2025 that affected the entire building. The property has a concerning history of system maintenance violations, including active violations for failure to file required pressure inspections in 2024 and multiple open violations from 2018 related to elevator safety and electrical systems, including the lack of AFCI protection in several units and unauthorized electrical work.
Building safety concerns have been documented, including multiple complaints about self-closing doors needing repairs in various hallways, defective fire escapes, and a significant complaint in early 2025 regarding building shaking/vibrating/structural stability. The building's recent history shows consistent issues with heating and water systems, particularly during early 2025 when multiple heating system failures were reported, though some were subsequently resolved. While there have been some improvements, such as the resolution of various electrical and fire safety violations in 2019-2020, new violations have emerged, including a 2024 violation concerning an outdoor wood structure attached to the building's façade.
The building's condition has prompted multiple inspections by the Department of Buildings and Housing Preservation and Development, though access issues have sometimes hindered full inspections. While the property has maintained good records regarding pest management, with no bedbug reports in the past two years, rat activity has been documented in several inspections, most recently in October 2024. The current ownership under Anderson Santos has been responsible for addressing some violations, but numerous active violations remain outstanding, particularly regarding building systems maintenance and safety compliance.
