782 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

782 West End Avenue is a 12-story, 43-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1913, currently managed by 782 West End Avenue Owners Corp. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing current violations stemming from a June 2024 inspection, including an unresolved Class A violation regarding the improper placement of an inspection certificate frame near mailboxes, and a Class C violation for defective hardwood flooring in apartment 61. Notable past issues include multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2023, which were reportedly resolved, and a period of unsanitary conditions regarding garbage storage documented between late 2022 and mid-2023.

The building has a history of fire safety concerns, with open violations from 2019 requiring repair or replacement of smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in the penthouse apartment (PH2), as well as issues with self-closing doors in multiple locations. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with recent results from 2024 and 2023 passing, though there was a period of active bait application in 2019. The building's exterior maintenance has also been monitored, with a 2023 ECB violation noting problems with hanging flower boxes on the second-floor balcony, and a historical 2018 violation regarding the submission of a required facade inspection report.

Administrative records show one documented bedbug incident in 2022, though subsequent annual reports from 2023 onwards have indicated no infestations. The building's heating system has been subject to scrutiny, with multiple complaints about defective service in early 2023, and historical boiler-related complaints in 2020, including one instance where the inspector was unable to gain access for evaluation. Recent permits issued in 2021 and 2019 suggest ongoing maintenance and repair work is being conducted at the property.
