75 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10023

75 West End Avenue is a 38-story, 973-unit residential building that was completed in 1994 and is currently owned by Richard Mason. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety concerns in recent years, with the most notable issues occurring in early 2025. These include multiple unresolved complaints about plumbing problems, water leaks, electrical issues, door/window problems, and unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold, all of which were subject to HPD inspection attempts but were unable to be completed.

More recently, in June 2025, there is currently an active food poisoning complaint under investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building has a documented history of infrastructure concerns, particularly in the garage area, with Environmental Control Board violations from November 2023 noting cracked ceilings, spalling masonry, and exposed rebar issues. There are also three active DOB violations as of 2024 regarding failure to maintain building conditions and incomplete certifications related to hazardous conditions.

Previous maintenance issues have been documented through multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in apartment R12J, which required repairs to multiple systems including HVAC, electrical, and plumbing components. The building has also faced recurring pest control challenges, with multiple documented instances of bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2025, though most recent reports indicate successful eradications. While there have been several recent complaints and violations, it's worth noting that the building has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted between 2022 and 2025, and many historical violations have been resolved, including those related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and various building repairs.
