700 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

700 West End Avenue is a 15-story, 65-unit residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Miria Nacaj. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple reports of slow leaks and damp spots throughout 2024 and 2025, most recently documented in March 2025. The building has also faced challenges with basic services, including a documented heat and hot water outage in November 2024 that affected the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

In late 2024, multiple apartments (3C, 4B, and 16C) were cited for various maintenance issues including pest infestations (specifically roaches), defective plastered surfaces, and painting requirements, though these violations have since been closed. The property underwent facade work in 2024, during which several safety violations were recorded related to scaffolding and worker safety. There have been multiple elevator-related complaints and violations throughout 2024-2025, though inspections generally found no violations present at the time.

The building has a history of maintenance code violations requiring correction, particularly regarding elevator safety and general maintenance standards. Active DB violations as of July 2025 include issues with swarm conditions and failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations from 2024. Despite these challenges, recent bedbug reports (2024-2025) show no infestations, and recent rodent inspections have passed following previous rat activity notices in 2021 and 2022. The building has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested or eradicated units in recent years.
