549 Isham Street, Manhattan, NY 10034
549 Isham Street is a 5-story, 50-unit New Law Tenement building located in Inwood, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Rony Kravel. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues, with multiple tenant complaints filed in early 2025 regarding lack of service throughout the entire building. These complaints were mostly closed due to either unit access issues or being duplicates of existing reports, though some violations were issued based on inspections.
Previous heating system problems were documented throughout 2023-2024, including a violation for inadequate heat in Apartment 2 and another for lacking hot water in Apartment 3. The building has active Department of Buildings violations related to failure to file energy benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores, with the most recent being from April 2023. Additionally, there have been recurring rodent activity issues, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 showing rat activity and bait application requirements.
The property has undergone several repairs and maintenance actions, including a hot water violation correction in Apartment 22 and various bathroom repairs in Apartment 37, completed between late 2023 and early 2024. While there have been concerns about possible illegal conversions and other unauthorized uses in past years, these complaints were either closed due to lack of evidence or access issues. The bedbug reportings from 2021-2025 consistently show zero infested or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management.
