570 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

570 West End Avenue is a 13-story, 76-unit New Law tenement built in 1912 and currently owned by Moises Farhat. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple open complaints through HPD regarding paint/plaster damage and problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system. There have been two significant building-wide heat/hot water complaints in early 2025, though one was originally reported by multiple tenants, and electricity-related issues including power outages and wiring concerns have also been documented.

The property has a notable history of violations and compliance issues, particularly during 2024, including active ECB violations for various building systems, including elevator safety (January 2025) and requirements for immediate correction of hazardous conditions (October 2023). Exterior and structural concerns were identified in 2024, including problems with the roof parapet wall and multiple violations related to the building's facade. Recent inspections have shown some improvement in pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years and a passing rodent inspection in January 2025, though there were multiple instances of rat activity documented in 2023-2024.

A series of housing maintenance violations were recorded between August and October 2024, affecting multiple apartments (e.g., Units 115 and 124), though most have been subsequently closed. The building's history shows recurring issues with building systems, particularly electrical and elevator maintenance, and periodic problems with building access for inspections. While some violations have been resolved, several active violations remain as of 2025, indicating ongoing compliance challenges.
