35 Claremont Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

The 11-story, 22-unit residential building at 35 Claremont Avenue in Morningside Heights, owned by David Greenberg and built in 1910, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is the current active façade safety complaint from February 2025 regarding the building's exterior, as well as a recent outside building complaint from April 2024 involving the porch/balcony area. The building has an outstanding ECB violation from April 2024 related to failure to submit a required Cycle 9B façade inspection report, with a penalty of $1,250 owed. While the building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with zero reported cases in the past three filing periods (2022-2024), and has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2016, it has several active violations that require attention.

The property has a history of various maintenance and compliance issues that have been addressed over time. In 2020, there was a violation related to the elevator system, which was resolved. The building has also faced challenges with timely reporting requirements, including a failure to file energy benchmarking reports in 2019 that remains active. Two Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 and 2024 regarding bedbug reporting requirements were issued, though the building has since demonstrated compliance with all recent bedbug filings showing no infestations.

The most recent housing maintenance inspections and 311 complaints, including a closed porch/balcony issue in April 2024, have generally resulted in no violations being issued. The building's historical records show some significant issues that have been resolved, including an inadequate rail system violation in 2018 (since resolved) and various maintenance violations that have been addressed through proper channels. Regular inspections and permits have been properly filed and issued, including elevator and plumbing permits in 2019. The building maintains a mix of active and resolved violations, with the most pressing issues being the exterior façade safety complaint and outstanding façade inspection requirement from 2024.
