736 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

736 West End Avenue is a 13-story, 57-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Ocean Propertie Of New York Llc. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in January 2025, which followed a similar complaint pattern in December 2021.

In the summer of 2018, there were multiple reports of power outages requiring immediate emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were issued in connection with these incidents. The building's regulatory history shows consistent attention to rodent control, with all recent inspections (2014-2024) passing successfully, and the property has maintained a compliant bedbug reporting record with most recent filings (2024) showing minimal infestation issues. The building underwent some construction activity in 2021 that generated dust and required intervention from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), though no violations were ultimately recorded.

A notable Environmental Control Board violation from 2018 related to failure to comply with a Commission's order regarding a Certificate of Compliance, which incurred a $1,250 penalty. Inspection records indicate that the current bedbug situation is being effectively managed, with only one unit reported as infested in the most recent 2024 filing (though this unit had been eradicated). The building has received multiple permits for exterior work (EW) in recent years, specifically in 2019 and 2020, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property.
