790 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

790 West End Avenue is a 15-story, 89-unit residential building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Mark Young. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events in recent years, most notably during a 2019 facade renovation project that resulted in multiple violations related to scaffolding safety and site management by Kay Waterproofing Corp, including unsafe scaffold use and failure to maintain required safety documentation, with penalties totaling $17,500. More recently, there is an active violation from April 2023 regarding failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection.

The building has also faced recurring rodent issues, with rat activity documented in 2022 (April, June), though recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have shown compliance with rodent control measures. Bedbug reports from 2018 to the present show zero infested units during the past seven reporting periods, indicating successful pest management. The building's maintenance record shows regular permit activity, with multiple work permits issued between 2018 and 2022 for various plumbing and electrical work, including two permits issued in 2022 (November and January).

There have been consistent efforts to maintain safety standards, as evidenced by the passing results of most recent rodent inspections and the resolution of many past violations. While the building has had its share of violations and safety concerns, recent inspection results and the lack of new infestation cases suggest improvements in building management and maintenance practices. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently reporting zero infested units, and has successfully resolved various violations through appropriate corrective actions and permit acquisitions.
