586 West 215th Street, Manhattan, NY 10034

The 50-unit building at 586 West 215th Street in Inwood, currently owned by Valon Rexhepi and constructed in 1937, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water during the past three years. From October 2022 through October 2023, there were eight documented complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, with the most recent incident occurring in October 2023. While some units reported restoration of services following complaints, there were also instances where HPD inspectors could not gain access to units for verification.

A specific door maintenance violation was noted in Apartment 2C as of November 2022, though no subsequent violations have been recorded. The building struggled with elevator issues in 2021, receiving a violation for missing fireman service and non-functioning buttons, which incurred a $3,125 penalty. The building has maintained an active rodent control program between 2018 and 2025, with most inspections showing compliance or passing results, though there were noted instances of rat activity in April and August 2024.

Importantly, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations since 2019, with regular annual filings showing no infested units. The property also complied with the annual benchmarking report requirement after initially receiving a violation in 2022. Recent inspections in 2025 have shown passing results for both rodent control and other standards, indicating improved maintenance of building systems and compliance with housing codes.
