560 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

560 West End Avenue is a 12-unit, 4-story converted Class A residential building constructed in 1890, currently owned by Joseph Osso. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, with two heat/hot water complaints in November 2024, one of which resulted in HPD verification of corrections, while the other required re-complaint for access issues. The property has ongoing violations related to self-closing doors, plumbing, and construction work without proper permits as of 2024, with penalties totaling $2,500.

Recent inspections in 2023-2024 revealed multiple maintenance issues, particularly affecting basement apartment 277, including problems with doors, plumbing, water leaks, and pest infestation. The building has also had electrical issues, including multiple complaints in 2018 regarding outlet/switch problems, power outage, and lighting concerns, though these were generally resolved promptly. The property has an active pattern of maintenance and compliance challenges, though not all complaints have resulted in violations.

There have been consistent inspections and baiting for rodent activity throughout 2025, indicating ongoing pest control efforts. The building's history shows regular filing of bedbug reports with zero infestations recorded in recent years (2018-2025). The Department of Buildings has conducted several tenant safety inspections in 2024, and while some violations have been promptly addressed, others remain open and require attention. External low pressure inspection documentation has not been properly filed for both 2020 and 2023 inspections, resulting in active violations for these failures.
