140 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10023
The 29-story residential building at 140 West End Avenue, owned by Omid Pouratian and completed in 1964, contains 561 units and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning was a September 2023 incident involving drinking water that prompted DOHMH investigation, though no health violations were found. The building has faced recurrent pest control challenges, including a rat sighting in September 2023, and an ongoing issue with pigeon waste that generated multiple complaints between 2018-2020.
Heating system reliability has been problematic, with a particularly notable complete outage reported in October 2022 affecting the entire building, though this was reportedly resolved quickly. The building's elevator system has also faced scrutiny, with violations issued in 2019 regarding failure to correct safety defects from a 2017 inspection, though these were later dismissed. More recent inspections show some improvement in building conditions, with passing rodent inspections in 2022-2025, and the most recent bedbug report (December 2024) showing only two infested units, compared to previous years with higher counts.
The property has undergone various permitted work, including electrical and building maintenance projects in recent years, with some violations noted for exceeding permitted scope, such as additional wiring installation observed in 2024. A set of tenant safety inspections conducted regularly between 2020-2025 generally found no violations at the time of inspection, though an inspection in 2024 resulted in a Stop Work Order being fully rescinded. While the building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, showing eradication efforts, the pattern of complaints related to pests, heating issues, and periodic maintenance violations suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance standards.
