461 Columbus Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024
461 Columbus Avenue is a 5-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1886, currently owned by Richard Casanas. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in 2024, when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, mold, and a slow water leak. An April 2024 inspection identified multiple violations concerning self-closing doors, particularly at the entrance and vestibule, as well as various issues in Apartment PH3, including roof leaks, defective plaster surfaces, and painting requirements.
The building has an active Environmental Control Board violation from June 2024 regarding an illegally installed business sign for psychic readings attached to the fire escape, with a penalty of $6,250, and more recent violations issued in September 2024 for failure to file 2023 external low pressure inspections. The property has a documented history of illegal conversion complaints in 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access during multiple inspection attempts. While there have been several violations related to the annual bedbug report requirement between 2022-2024, these appear to be administrative in nature.
On a positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections showing no issues. The facade and roof maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to basic building infrastructure, though the presence of multiple open violations as of 2024 indicates some outstanding maintenance concerns that require monitoring. The building's location in the Upper West Side and its historical classification as an Old Law Tenement provide context for its architectural significance and typical maintenance challenges.
