407 West 205th Street, Manhattan, NY 10034
The 5-story, 29-unit residential building at 407 West 205th Street in Inwood, owned by Jose Cruz, has demonstrated significant maintenance challenges in 2025, with multiple ongoing plumbing issues including open complaints regarding basins/sinks and walls requiring paint/plaster work. The building has faced recurring water-related problems, evidenced by two slow leak complaints in March 2025, though some earlier water leak complaints from March 2025 were resolved without violations.
A concerning pattern of heating system problems emerged in early 2025, with multiple complaints about entire building heat/hot water issues, though HPD was unable to inspect in some cases. Recent housing maintenance code complaints and violations from June 2025 indicate ongoing plumbing and window issues requiring attention. The building's history reveals a mixture of maintenance success and challenges, with rodent inspections showing consistent passing results since 2019, though two apartments (1D and 2D) were cited for pest infestations in late 2024.
Violations issued in October 2024 regarding mice and roach infestations in apartments 1D and 2D were documented, along with various maintenance issues including defective floor tiles, bathroom repairs, and a refrigerator problem in apartment 5A. The Department of Buildings records indicate a low pressure inspection violation issued in September 2024, currently active as of October 2023, and an illegal conversion complaint in March 2023, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building's permit history shows various work being processed and issued between 2019-2020, with some permits still listed as in process as of 2025.
