469 Columbus Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

469 Columbus Avenue is a 5-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building located in New York City's Upper West Side, owned by Mario Minera and constructed in 1886. The building's maintenance history reveals several notable issues over recent years, with the most recent concerns being multiple paint/plaster complaints in September 2022 affecting ceilings, walls, and radiators, all of which were promptly addressed and closed within days. The building has maintained a consistently pest-free record, as evidenced by bedbug reporting showing zero infestation cases or eradication needs from 2019 through 2024.

However, recent rodent inspections present a mixed picture, with failures noted in November 2023 and September 2023, though the most recent inspection in September 2024 resulted in a passing grade. The property's violation history indicates some previous safety concerns, including a 2019 violation regarding self-closing doors in Apartment 2S and inadequate exterior lighting identified in 2018, both of which were subsequently corrected. A plumbing issue involving a steam pipe/riser was reported and addressed between late 2018 and early 2019.

While there was one food poisoning complaint in 2019 and a vaccine mandate non-compliance issue in 2021, these incidents appear to be isolated and were promptly addressed. The building's most recent inspections for bedbugs (2024), both showing zero infestations, and the most recent rodent inspection passing inspection are positive indicators of improved conditions. The consistent closure of maintenance issues and regular inspections suggest active management of the property's upkeep, though the building's age and historical classification as an Old Law Tenement indicate ongoing maintenance needs are to be expected.
