595 West 207th Street, Manhattan, NY 10034

The 27-unit building at 595 West 207th Street in Inwood, owned by George Huang, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges throughout 2023-2025. Most notably, there have been multiple recent complaints regarding mold, with four reports between April and May 2025, including two marked as emergency conditions. The building has also faced several infrastructure issues, with an open safety complaint regarding a fire escape from April 2025 and multiple plumbing concerns including water leaks and bathtub/shower problems.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 indicate significant issues in Apartment 23, including water leaks and ceiling damage in multiple rooms, while Apartment 46 was cited for both mold and water leak problems. The property has documented safety and maintenance compliance inspections showing mixed results. Most recent rodent inspections indicate passing results in 2024-2025, although there were periods of rat activity noted in 2023.

Regulatory history shows several significant events, including a building shaking complaint in March 2025, a defective boiler complaint in February 2025, and concerns about illegal commercial use of the property in previous years. The building has undergone multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections, with various violations issued and then either closed or currently unresolved. Recent environmental control board violations from 2022 and 2021 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding unauthorized commercial use and construction material storage in public areas.
