472 Central Park West, Manhattan, NY 10025

472 Central Park West is a 5-story, 15-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1941, currently owned by Scott Castellano. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being heat and hot water problems, particularly evident in the entire building as recently as May 2025. The property has shown a persistent pest management challenge, with multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, including documented violations in 2022 for roach and mice infestations specifically in apartment 4B.

While rodent inspections between 2014-2024 have consistently passed, indicating some level of effective management, a recent bedbug report filed in December 2024 noted one infested unit that was subsequently eradicated. The building's maintenance history reveals several infrastructure and service concerns, including a December 2023 pest issue, a Christmas 2022 intercom system problem, multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2022, and a gas range appliance issue that did not result in violations. The Department of Buildings had significant enforcement actions in 2018-2019, including a Partial Stop Work Order and work without permit violations related to renovation activities in apartments 5B and 4C.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with all recent inspections (2022-2024) passing, suggesting improved pest management. However, the recent bedbug infestation and recurring heat/hot water issues indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has maintained compliance with the city's Rodent Control program, passing all recent inspections.
