302 Columbus Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10023
302 Columbus Avenue is a five-story, 12-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood, owned by Joseph Franco and dating back to 1890. The property has experienced several significant events over the past few years, most notably with two food-related incidents in 2023 - one involving pets/animals and another involving food contamination, both handled by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and closed in 2024. The building has been subject to recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 inspections, though recent filings for the 2023-2025 period show no infested or re-infested units.
These violations were eventually resolved in subsequent inspections. The building's recent history shows proactive management in addressing pest control and safety concerns, with all rodent inspections since 2014 passing successfully, indicating good maintenance of common areas. The property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with no recorded infestations between 2021 and 2025. There was one vaccine mandate non-compliance complaint in 2021 that was acknowledged by city authorities.
Past complaints regarding advertising signs in 2019 and COVID-19 executive order compliance in 2020 were also investigated and found to warrant no violations at the time of inspection. A building permit was issued in June 2020 for work classified as "EW", suggesting exterior maintenance or repairs. While the building has faced various regulatory requirements and occasional complaints, recent records from 2023-2025 indicate improved compliance and resolution of many historical issues, particularly regarding pest management and safety inspections. The property's bedbug reporting history from 2021-2025 shows consistent monitoring with no reported infestations in recent years, and all rodent inspections have passed, suggesting effective management of vermin control measures.
