795 Columbus Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

The 15-story residential building at 795 Columbus Avenue in the Upper West Side, managed by Thomas Toomey, has experienced recurring health and maintenance issues since its construction in 2007. Most recently, in 2025, there were two separate food poisoning incidents (January and May), though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) deemed them isolated occurrences. A concerning pattern of rodent activity has emerged, with multiple inspections between 2024 and 2025 confirming rat activity, despite bait application efforts.

The building has also faced challenges with hot water and heating systems, experiencing an emergency complaint in January 2021, although no violations were found upon inspection. The property has been subject to various compliance requirements and violations. In 2024, an active violation was issued for exterior facade maintenance issues, specifically spalling stone above the entrance.

The building's management has generally maintained bedbug-free status, as evidenced by consistent "0" infestation reports from 2024 through 2025, though several housing maintenance code violations were recorded in 2021 related to building safety signage requirements. The elevator systems have prompted multiple complaints, though inspections typically found no violations. Historical complaints regarding COVID-19 compliance and illegal hotel room usage have been logged, but investigations often showed no violations. While the building has maintained its occupancy as a residential structure, regular inspections and service requests indicate ongoing attention is required to address basic maintenance and health safety concerns.
