905 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

905 West End Avenue is a 13-story, 53-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1916 and currently owned by Deirdre Ferguson. The building has experienced recurring issues in recent months, with three open complaints regarding cooking gas problems as of 2025, and a power outage complaint from February 2025. These recent issues follow a pattern of maintenance challenges over the past two years, including significant 2024 violations in Apartment 121 related to lead paint hazards, broken fixtures, and safety concerns including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Prior to this, the building had various plumbing, wall, and safety issues documented through HPD complaints and violations. The building's history shows a mix of maintenance challenges and improvements. Notably, there was a bedbug infestation in 2020 affecting all units, though subsequent years have shown no reports of infestations, with the most recent reports (2023-2024) indicating minimal issues.

Elevator maintenance has been a recurring concern, with violations issued in 2019 and 2021 related to elevator devices and inspection tags. The building has generally passed rodent inspections in recent years, though there were some concerning results in 2020-2021 indicating rat activity. Multiple permits were issued in 2018 for various maintenance work, suggesting ongoing efforts to address building conditions. While many past violations have been resolved, the persistence of recent open complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding essential services like gas and electricity.
