555 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 8-story, 13-unit building at 555 West End Avenue, owned by Nancy Candelario and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant incidents over the past few years that may impact resident experience. In recent years, there have been consistent bedbug reporting requirements, with violations noted in 2021, 2023, and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual reports, though the most recent 2025 report indicates no infestations during the 2023-2024 period. The building has maintained generally good rodent inspection results, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 passing, though there was one failure for "Other Reasons" in January 2025.

The property has experienced recurring issues related to construction safety and building maintenance, particularly in 2018-2019. There were multiple complaints regarding sidewalk shed conditions, worker safety, and site conditions during this period, though most were determined to not warrant violations upon inspection. An emergency heat/hot water complaint was received in November 2018, which was closed shortly thereafter.

Of particular note, there was a significant incident in September 2018 involving a safety net/guard rail issue that resulted in a stop work order, though this was fully rescinded. The building's elevator system also attracted attention, with a multiple devices complaint in May 2019, though this too was determined not to warrant violations. While the property has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, recent inspection results suggest improved compliance with safety and maintenance requirements, though the January 2025 rodent inspection failure indicates ongoing monitoring is necessary.
