575 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

Located at 575 West End Avenue in Manhattan's Upper West Side, this 12-story, 54-unit New Law Tenement building was constructed in 1915 and has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. The property has active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to facade maintenance, including three active facade-related ECB violations from 2018-2024, with penalties totaling $15,875, and a current violation regarding the failure to file acceptable facade reports.

Multiple complaints in 2024-2025 indicate ongoing concerns with building safety and maintenance, including a rodent sighting in January 2025, construction lead dust complaints in February 2024, and various issues with debris and sidewalk scaffolding. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring pest control challenges, with rodent sightings documented in 2019, 2020, and most recently in 2025, though initial rodent inspections have generally passed. Significant issues were identified in 2021 within apartment 2D, including problems with window balance, door functionality, pest infestation, and missing safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The facade has required ongoing attention, with violations noting missing terra cotta at balcony locations and other exterior maintenance concerns. While the building has maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting showing zero infested units from 2021-2024, the property has faced challenges with timely facade report submissions, resulting in multiple active violations and fines. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and repair work, with the most recent permits issued in early 2025 for various elevator and exterior work.
