509 Avenue Of The Amer, Manhattan, NY 10011
The 16-story, 98-unit residential building at 509 Avenue of the Americas in the West Village, owned by Robert McCarthy and constructed in 1961, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly with pest control and safety compliance. Most recently, there were service requests in late 2024 and early 2025 related to rodent and insect problems in food establishment areas, though these complaints were eventually closed. The building has maintained an active rodent inspection record, with all inspections from 2018 through March 2025 passing, except for one in 2020 which indicated rat activity.
A concerning pattern of safety inspections emerged in late 2024 and early 2025, including four tenant safety inspections with one showing compliance, and one inspection in December 2024 revealing issues with a hazardous boiler system that resulted in an active violation and a $1,250 penalty. The property has documented various maintenance and safety incidents over recent years, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints related to unsanitary conditions and pests in 2024. The building's violation history shows active concerns, including failures to file required inspection reports for external low-pressure systems in 2023, and a cycle 9A violation in 2022 for swarm conditions.
There were also serious safety-related issues in 2020 when work was performed without proper permits and required safety documentation was not posted. Although there have been bedbug reports filed, they appear to have been promptly addressed, with the most recent report in December 2024 showing one infested unit that was eradicated. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and improvement work being performed, with several permits issued between 2019 and 2023 for various maintenance and repair tasks.
