825 West 179th Street, Manhattan, NY 10033
The 6-story, 42-unit building at 825 West 179th Street in Washington Heights, owned by Howard Landman, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there is currently an open electric lighting complaint as of June 2025, and several open violations from a December 2024 inspection in apartment 5F related to paint, flooring, and window guard issues. The building has a significant history of water-related problems, with multiple complaints about leaks and damp spots, including four related complaints in April 2025 alone.
Safety concerns have also emerged, with open violations from 2024 regarding fire escape ladder functionality and multiple open violations related to window guards and lead paint hazards. Historical data shows the building underwent several renovation attempts between 2018-2023, with multiple work without permit violations and tenant protection plan compliance issues. The property has maintained relatively consistent rodent control success, with passing inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though there was one compliance failure in 2018. Bedbug reports show a mostly controlled situation, with no reported infestations in the last three reporting periods (2022-2025).
Recent housing maintenance code complaints from June 2025 include issues with damp spots, pests, floor conditions, and ceiling paint, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's history of HPD violations, including multiple Class A and B violations, indicates recurring issues with water damage, interior surfaces, and safety equipment. While some historical violations have been resolved, many current issues remain open as of mid-2025, particularly focusing on electrical systems, water damage, and interior maintenance. The building's age (constructed in 1920) is evident in the numerous maintenance challenges documented over recent years, though it has met rodent inspection requirements consistently since 2019.
