583 West 215th Street, Manhattan, NY 10034

583 West 215th Street is a 6-story New Law Tenement building in Inwood, built in 1930 and currently owned by 174th Tic Owner LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints between February and May 2025 indicating building-wide problems that required HPD intervention. A power outage was reported in May 2025, though HPD inspection found no housing law violations.

The building has outstanding violations from 2023-2024 related to required inspections, including failures to submit critical examination reports and violations concerning elevator safety systems, with penalties totaling $2,500. Earlier violations from Fall 2024 remain open, including issues with self-closing doors in the hopper chute on multiple floors and a lack of adequate heat in Apartment A8. The building has a history of pest control challenges, as evidenced by a June 2025 unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests, and previous rodent and bedbug reports.

Quarterly rodent inspections have generally passed, though there were some failures in 2024. The elevator, which has been a recurring concern, has had multiple complaints between 2018-2023, with some resulting in Oath Violations. The property has also generated numerous Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in 2024, including water damage, mold, and various repair issues in Apartments C5 and D2. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and elevator reliability, while also indicating some responsiveness to compliance requirements when violations are identified.
