385 Avenue Of The Amer, Manhattan, NY 10014

The four-story, nine-unit residential building at 385 Avenue of the Americas in the West Village, owned by 135 Waverly Realty LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2025, there were urgent fire escape safety concerns, with violations issued regarding missing and misaligned steps between the 3rd and 4th floors, requiring immediate attention and supervision by licensed professionals. The building is currently under structural monitoring as of March 2025, and there was a complaint about work being done without proper permits in December 2024.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all recent filings (since 2019) showing zero infested units. Rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2019, indicating effective pest management. In 2018, there was a building-wide heat and hot water complaint, and a rat sighting was reported that same year.

During the COVID-19 pandemic period from August to September 2021, there were multiple complaints regarding vaccine mandate non-compliance, including failure to check customer proof of vaccination and not posting required vaccine rules, though all these complaints were resolved through normal city procedures. A more recent food poisoning complaint was filed in 2024, but was determined to be an isolated incident by health authorities. The building's violation and complaint history suggests ongoing attention is needed for certain maintenance issues, particularly regarding building safety systems such as the fire escape, while also demonstrating effective management of pest control and bedbug prevention.
