301 Avenue Of The Amer, Manhattan, NY 10014

301 Avenue of the Americas is a 5-unit, 3-story residential building located in the West Village, owned by David Tawil and constructed in 1832 as a two-family house. The property has experienced recurring pest management issues, particularly with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple bait applications throughout 2024 and earlier inspections showing rat activity in 2023 and 2022.

While the building has maintained an enforced bedbug management program, with annual reports showing zero infested units filed consistently since 2020, there have been several health department complaints regarding food establishment conditions between 2020 and 2023, including issues with rodents/insects/garbage. The building underwent two significant safety-related incidents in 2018, including a violation for blocking the fire escape exit with wooden pallets and an unsafe pipe scaffold condition, both of which were resolved with penalties totaling $712. In 2021, there were two failed attempts for Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections due to inability to gain access.

More recent inspections in 2022-2023, including two Tenant Safety Inspections, found no violations at the time of inspection. The property has received multiple DOHMH inspections and is currently undergoing regular rodent control measures, as illustrated by multiple bait applications and inspections throughout 2024. While the building has had its share of maintenance and safety issues, recent records indicate improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and regular pest control interventions, suggesting an ongoing effort to address and manage these challenges.
