169 Manhattan Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025
169 Manhattan Avenue is a 6-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1940 and currently owned by Naftoli Leiner. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple housing maintenance code violations recorded between 2023 and 2025. Notable problems include recurring pest infestations (particularly cockroaches in Apartment 2D), water-related issues in the 6th-floor apartment (including leaks affecting ceilings and skylights), and window-related concerns.
In 2024, violations were documented in Apartment 2D regarding window mechanism failures and interior conditions including mold and pest infestations. The building's external conditions have also been a concern, with several emergency and non-emergency complaints about windows, doors, and electrical systems. Recent inspections have revealed ongoing rodent activity, with the most recent rat activity reports recorded in July and August 2024. The building has maintained an active record of 311 complaints, Department of Building inspections, and environmental control board violations, including an incident in March 2024 involving obstructed emergency exit passageways.
While the building has had no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024), the persistent issues with pests, water leaks, and maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The property has undergone various inspections and had multiple violation notices issued and resolved, indicating some responsiveness to regulatory requirements, though access issues were noted in the most recent window frame complaint from 2025. The building's recent history shows a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to water damage, pest infestations, and window/door problems, with the most current complaints focusing on window frame conditions. Despite some violations being resolved and no bedbug cases in recent years, the continued documentation of rodent activity and various maintenance complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
