60 Manhattan Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

60 Manhattan Avenue is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building located in the Upper West Side, built in 1940 and currently owned by Robin Baez. The building has experienced a series of maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most recent complaint in April 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, though no inspection access was gained by HPD.

In November 2023, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently inspected, including issues with paint/plaster (ceiling and walls), water leaks (heavy flow), flooring, doors, electrical systems (power outage), mold, and an appliance (refrigerator), but notably, no violations were issued for any of these complaints. The building has a documented history of heating and hot water issues, with violations in 2019-2021 related to inadequate hot water supply in apartments 11 and 17, and heating problems in multiple units. Additional concerns include a locked/blocked egress complaint in 2020, though no violations were found at the time of inspection.

The property has maintained good pest management records, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (as per the Department of Health's annual reporting), and passed the most recent rodent inspection in July 2024 after previous rat activity was noted in 2023. Historical violations from 2019 indicate several maintenance issues in apartment 6, including mold on bathroom grout, electrical outlet concerns, plaster and paint problems, and carbon monoxide detector non-compliance, though these were all closed after inspection. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues typical of older tenement buildings, it's worth noting that most recent complaints have not resulted in violations being issued, and the building has successfully met its pest control requirements as evidenced by the lack of bedbug reports.
