325 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10023

The building at 325 West End Avenue is a 13-story, 52-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1916 and currently owned by Mark Hoffman. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation from October 2021 regarding exterior building walls, specifically citing bulging mortar joints and spalled concrete on the west elevation that warrant a $1,250 penalty.

The building succumbed to a bedbug infestation in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024) with one affected unit that was treated, following several years of zero occurrences between 2018 and 2022. The property's maintenance record shows a mixture of resolved and ongoing issues, including multiple DOB violations between 2019-2020 related to the elevator system that were ultimately resolved in late 2022. There was one housing maintenance code violation in 2018 regarding inadequate front entrance lighting, which was certified as corrected in October 2018.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent showing passed inspections in September and October 2024, though there were instances of rat activity detected in August 2024 and April 2022. The property has maintained an active compliance record for various building systems, with several elevator-related permits issued in October 2018 for repairs or upgrades. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges typical of its age, the management has generally addressed violations once issued, though some matters, like the exterior wall condition, remain unresolved as of 2025.
