706 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

706 West End Avenue is a 16-story, 93-unit residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Jessica Kastin. The Upper West Side property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are multiple active and resolved violations related to the building's external facade, with documented problems including cracked decorative stone, masonry cracks, and deteriorated coatings, particularly on the west and east elevations.

These facade maintenance issues have resulted in several Environmental Control Board violations between 2018-2024, with penalties totaling $4,620. The building has also faced challenges with compliance documentation, including active violations for failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection and the 2017 boiler inspection report, as well as issues with correcting immediately hazardous violations from 2021 and 2020. In terms of recent building conditions, 706 West End Avenue has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years across all units, and has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2014.

The property has undergone various interior work and safety inspections, with stop work orders issued and later rescinded in September 2020, though these did not appear to result in ongoing safety concerns. While the building has maintained basic habitability standards, the pattern of facade maintenance violations and delayed compliance with safety inspection requirements suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance oversight. However, the absence of recent bedbug reports and consistent rodent inspection passes indicate effective pest management practices being maintained over the past several years.
