646 West 207th Street, Manhattan, NY 10034

646 West 207th Street is a three-story, three-unit building in Inwood, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Domingo Belliard. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past five years, with water-related problems being particularly prominent. Between 2018-2019, there were multiple complaints and violations related to water leaks, including slow leaks and heavy flow issues, affecting multiple areas including ceilings, walls, and hallways. These problems were documented through both 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations.

The building has also faced pest challenges, with rodent sightings reported in 2018 and 2021, though recent rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have consistently passed, with a notable "Rat Activity" finding in October 2021. Other significant issues have included unsanitary conditions related to mold, roof problems, and ceiling damage, particularly affecting the third-floor apartment. Most concerning is a documented roof leak affecting multiple areas in Apartment 3, as well as persistent bedbug reporting requirements that have resulted in violations between 2021-2024, though recent reports (2023-2024) indicate no infested units. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water and pest-related challenges, though recent inspections suggest some improvement in rodent control.

The property has maintained an active record of compliance inspections, with the most recent bedbug report (2024) showing zero infested units. A notable violation from 2022 regarding a missed technical report filing was dismissed due to lack of access. While many historical violations have been closed, currently active issues are relatively minimal, limited to some maintenance requirements and one open violation from 2023 regarding wire mesh replacement below the skylight at the bulkhead. The building's location, age, and history of water-related issues suggest ongoing maintenance considerations, though recent inspection results indicate improved conditions in several areas.
