644 West 204th Street, Manhattan, NY 10034

644 West 204th Street, a 5-story New Law Tenement built in 1917 in Inwood, is currently managed by 204th Street Associates Inc and contains 20 residential units. The building has faced recurring issues with heat and hot water, most recently reported in November 2023 across the entire building, though inspectors could not gain access to verify the condition.

There are also active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 for failure to file external low pressure inspections for both 2021 and 2022. The property has experienced various health and maintenance concerns over the past few years, including a rat sighting in July 2022 that resulted in violations, and a chemical vapor incident in December 2021 that prompted an advisory to the management.

Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections across multiple years, with the most recent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 showing compliance. Interestingly, while there was one recorded bedbug incident in 2020-2021, subsequent annual reports from 2021 through 2024 show no further infestations, with all units reporting zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The property had a permit issued in July 2018 for unspecified work (job number 123459097), and has demonstrated regular compliance with rodent inspections, though the occurrence of rat activity in July 2022 indicates occasional pest management challenges.
