290 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10023
290 West End Avenue is a 63-unit, 16-story New Law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, built in 1925 and currently owned by Franklin Mandel. The building has experienced persistent rodent issues in recent years, with multiple rat sightings reported between 2022 and 2025, including an open unsanitary condition complaint related to garbage/recycling storage filed in January 2025. While the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has conducted several inspections and applied bait, the rodent problem appears to remain unresolved as of early 2025.
The building has had some significant maintenance issues over the years. A heat and hot water emergency was reported in January 2019, though it appears to have been resolved promptly. In 2024, violations were documented regarding fire door maintenance and self-closing mechanisms at the 1st-story public hall. Historical records from 2002-2006 show numerous violations related to Apartment 16A, including water leaks affecting ceilings, and problems with plastered surfaces and paint.
These violations were eventually resolved between 2024-2025. The building's systems and safety inspections have yielded mostly passing results in recent years, though there was an inspection in 2020 that resulted in a penalty for an inadequate tenant protection plan during construction work. Recent Department of Buildings inspections in 2023-2024 have not found any major violations warranting further action. Additionally, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past five years.
