450 North End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10282

450 North End Avenue, a 25-story Class A building constructed in 1998 in Battery Park City, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns revolving around heat and hot water systems. Between 2020 and 2022, there were multiple documented complaints and emergency service requests regarding building-wide heat and hot water outages, though records indicate these issues were typically resolved promptly. More recently, in 2023, there was a door-related complaint that was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) with no violations found.

The building is currently showing no active heat or maintenance issues as of July 2025. The property has faced some mechanical and infrastructure challenges, particularly with its elevator systems. Three separate elevator-related complaints have been logged between 2022 and 2025, with the most recent in 2024 resulting in an Environmental Control Board violation regarding elevator hoist cables showing signs of rust, which was noted to be scheduled for replacement by elevator maintenance company PS Marcato. In terms of pest management, the building's bedbug reporting records from 2019 through 2024 show minimal issues, with only one reported case in 2018-2019 that was eradicated.

Rodent control efforts were documented in 2019, showing consistent bait application across multiple inspections. The building's regulatory history also includes a violation related to the failure to file a Technical Report for the FISP Cycle 9A by the February 2022 deadline, though this violation was ultimately dismissed in December 2024. While there have been periodic maintenance issues requiring tenant reporting, the building has generally responded to complaints promptly, with HPD inspections typically finding no violations unless otherwise noted. Importantly, the building currently holds a record of zero reported bedbug infestations for the 2023-2024 reporting period, and there have been no recent reports of heat or water system failures as of the current date.
