949 West End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10025

949 West End Avenue is a 60-unit, 13-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Michael Felice. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints across December 2024 and January 2025, affecting the entire building. Several of these complaints required HPD to attempt access to inspect the problems, and while some complaints were reportedly resolved, the pattern suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges.

The building has faced consistent elevator system concerns over recent years, with multiple complaints about single device operation and lack of alternate service between 2019-2023, though most inspections found no violations. An ECB violation in 2021 resulted in a $1,250 penalty related to a missing door restrictor and expired CAT5 tag in the elevator room. The building's maintenance record shows systematic attention to pest management, with bedbug reports indicating minimal infestations in recent years (two units in 2020-2021 and one unit in 2021-2022), though no reported cases in the most recent filings (2022-2023 and 2023-2024).

Regular rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2024 have consistently passed, with baiting operations noted in 2019. Two active DOB violations from 2021 remain unresolved in the records, though specific details aren't provided in the available data. The building's heating system has been the primary source of resident complaints in recent years, suggesting infrastructure upgrades may be necessary to address the recurrent service interruptions.
