562 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 13-story, 84-unit apartment building at 562 West End Avenue, owned by Peter Soler, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there was a serious water leak in apartment 12D documented in April 2024, which led to multiple open violations discovered during a May 2024 inspection, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and water damage affecting multiple rooms in the apartment.

The building has also faced recurring elevator issues, with violations in 2020 related to single device service and multiple devices on the property, though these were ultimately resolved. Environmental control board violations from 2024 indicate ongoing concerns with the building's exterior facade and construction work, with penalties issued for non-compliance with approved construction documents and sidewalk shed extensions. A 2019 rodent infestation case resulted in initial violations, but subsequent inspections from 2019 through early 2025 have consistently passed.

The building has maintained regular bedbug monitoring, with only one reported case in 2024 that was subsequently eradicated. Additionally, multiple open violations remain related to building safety features, including fire protection systems and general maintenance issues, particularly focusing on apartment 12D which has become a focal point for various maintenance violations. While permits for exterior work have been consistently issued from 2019 through 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance efforts, the volume and nature of violations indicate persistent challenges with building maintenance and safety compliance.
