623 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 10-unit, 5-story building at 623 West End Avenue, owned by Peter Takvorian, has experienced several notable issues since 2018, with the most significant problems occurring in 2018-2019. During this period, the building faced multiple emergencies related to heat/hot water failures, cooking gas problems, plumbing issues, mold, and unsanitary conditions, particularly affecting Apartment 1A, which had documented violations for water leaks, mold, mice infestation, and broken doors. The building also had recurring heating and cooking gas supply problems, with violations issued in October 2019 regarding inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures in Apartment 2A.

A rat sighting was reported in October 2022, though this was investigated in conjunction with an earlier complaint, and the building's rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025 have consistently passed, indicating improved pest management. The building's condition has shown marked improvement in recent years. Between 2022 and 2025, there have been no further heating, gas, or major maintenance issues reported through the city systems. The building has successfully passed multiple rodent inspections from 2018 to 2025, demonstrating effective pest control measures.

Importantly, the bedbug reporting from 2019 onwards shows no reported infestations in recent years, with the last confirmed infestation of two units occurring in 2019. The most recent Bedbug Reports from 2024-2025 indicate zero infested units. While there are still some open violations from 2018 related to Apartment 1A's conditions, the absence of recent complaints suggests these may have been addressed through normal maintenance processes. Additionally, the building submitted its annual bedbug report in December 2024, complying with current requirements.
