625 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

625 West End Avenue is a five-story, 8-unit residential building originally constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Howard Goldstein. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being recurring heat and hot water complaints, including two emergency incidents in November 2024 that affected the entire building. While these complaints were reported and closed, they indicate ongoing heating system concerns.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, all of which have passed from 2019 through 2025, suggesting effective pest management despite two rat sighting complaints in 2022 and 2023, both of which were investigated and found to have no violations. The property's maintenance history shows attention to bedbug reporting compliance, with recent filings in 2023-2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units. The building has had multiple housing maintenance violations, including an open violation from 2011 regarding an illegal security gate lock, though many older violations (from 2004) related to Apartment A's various maintenance issues were certified as corrected in 2021.

These included problems with plaster surfaces, paint uniformity, wood floors, and bathroom ceilings. The building's most recent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2025 show no infestations, and regular rodent inspections through 2025 continue to pass. Recent heat and hot water service interruptions throughout 2024-2025 indicate potential ongoing infrastructure challenges, though the building has maintained compliance with other health and safety inspections, including regular rodent inspections where no violations were found. The property's bedbug reports consistently show no infestation issues, reflecting proper management of this particular concern.
