590 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

590 West End Avenue is a 13-story, 82-unit residential building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Nancy Ryan. The Upper West Side tenement has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past three years, with six emergency complaints reported between 2022-2025, including two in early 2025 and one in December 2024. While some of these complaints were resolved, often involving difficulties in gaining apartment access for inspection, these recurring heating system problems represent a significant quality of life concern for residents.

The building has maintained a generally positive record regarding pest control, with regular rodent inspections showing consistent "Passed" results since 2016, and no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years. Recent inspections in 2024 revealed some areas of concern, including a potentially hazardous condition involving dangling electrical cables and improperly tied electrical boxes by NION Electric Corp, with an active penalty of $1,600. The building also has several active Department of Buildings violations from 2020-2021, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records.

A Tenant Safety inspection in 2024 did not warrant any violations, and previous complaints regarding excessive debris and illegal activity were also resolved with no violations found. The property has undergone various permitted work in recent years, with multiple equipment-related permits issued between 2018-2023. While the building demonstrates good compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with consistent "0" counts for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units, the persistent heat and hot water issues represent the most significant ongoing maintenance challenge for the property.
