185 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10023
The 28-story, 432-unit building at 185 West End Avenue, constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Richard Unis, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly in recent years. The most recent complaints in March 2025 required HPD intervention, though representatives were informed that conditions had been corrected. Similar heat/hot water issues affected both individual apartments and the entire building in October 2024 and January 2021, though inspections found no violations in 2021.
The building underwent facade work in 2023-2024, during which several significant incidents occurred, including the documented falling of bricks that struck a parked vehicle in October 2023, leading to multiple violations and fines totaling $10,000 for Prat Enterprises Corp, though these were later resolved. A more recent facade-related complaint was filed in March 2025 regarding debris, but no violation was found upon inspection. The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with the most recent report from December 2024 showing two units affected during the 2023-2024 reporting period, though both were reportedly eradicated.
Rodent inspections have shown variable results, with several "Rat Activity" designations between 2018-2022, though recent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 have passed. The building's maintenance history shows regular permit issuance for various works, particularly during 2019-2020, which appears to be related to facade and exterior work. While the building has experienced multiple emergency situations requiring HPD intervention, particularly regarding heat and water issues, the majority of these complaints have been resolved without violations being issued.
