580 Academy Street, Manhattan, NY 10034

The 26-unit, 5-story building at 580 Academy Street in Inwood, owned by Roque Peralta and constructed in 1925, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in 2025, with particular concerns about water-related problems. As of April 2025, there are active complaints regarding water leaks (heavy flow), and there is a history of both slow and heavy water leaks noted in previous months. The building has also faced multiple sanitation challenges, including reports of mold and pests, though recent inspections in February 2025 found no violations of housing laws.

Significant maintenance work was performed in late 2023 and early 2024, particularly in apartment 54 on the 5th floor, which involved repairs to windows, plumbing, and addressing lead paint hazards, all of which have been certified as completed. The building's recent history shows a pattern of addressing various maintenance issues, including heating problems (both building-wide and apartment-specific), ceiling repairs, and window maintenance. Notably, there have been multiple rodent inspections, with varying results indicating periods of rat activity between 2022 and 2025, though the most recent April 2025 inspection passed.

The property has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the last seven annual periods from 2018 to 2024. An earlier building stability complaint from July 2022 was investigated but found no violations. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to infrastructure issues, particularly water-related concerns, while recent inspections have generally resulted in verified resolution of reported problems, though a new water leak complaint remains open as of April 2025.
