225 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10023

225 West End Avenue is a 6-story, 43-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1903, currently owned by Scott Goldenberg. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints documented between 2022-2023 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These outages, categorized as emergencies, prompted HPD inspections and violations, though records indicate systems were typically restored promptly.

The property has also faced persistent pest control challenges, particularly regarding rodents, with multiple 311 complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests between 2022-2025. Most recently, in January 2025, a pest-related complaint resulted in HPD violations, while earlier complaints in 2023 and 2024 also indicated similar concerns. The building's maintenance history shows some infrastructural issues, including a 2018 ECB violation related to exterior facade maintenance that resulted in a $1,250 penalty for cracked masonry and loose coping stones.

While there have been some concerns about ventilation systems (as recorded in a 2024 HPD complaint), most building systems have received passing grades in annual inspections. Recent bedbug reports from 2024-2025 indicated minimal infestations, with two units reported in the most recent filing. The Department of Buildings has conducted various inspections over the years, including checks for structural stability and illegal activity, though no violations were warranted in these cases. The building has also maintained compliance with rodent inspections, consistently passing these checks from 2016 through 2024, suggesting recent improvements in pest control measures.
