580 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10030

580 St Nicholas Avenue is a 92-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Kobi Zamir. The property has recently experienced multiple pressing issues, most notably regarding rodent infestation, with consistent reports of rat activity throughout 2025 and several inspections confirming this problem. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges this year (2025), including violations related to heating systems, water supply issues, and unsanitary conditions including pests.

Notable safety concerns were documented in April 2025 regarding paint/plaster damage, flooring issues, and smoke detector problems, with violations issued that required correction by the property owner. The building's elevator system has been a recurring source of complaints and violations over the past several years, with multiple reports of "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" from 2023 to early 2025, and associated ECB violations related to door safety and operational problems. Structural and mechanical systems have also raised concerns, including recent building shaking/vibration complaints in 2025, though the most recent inspection found no significant issues. The property has an active history of plumbing and water supply problems, including recent emergency complaints in June 2025.

While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no confirmed infestations reported since 2022, the persistent rodent issues and various maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with property upkeep. Recent inspections and service requests indicate that while some violations have been addressed, many remain open or require correction. The building has multiple active Department of Buildings violations related to failure to submit required certifications and the presence of immediately hazardous conditions dating back to 2020-2022, suggesting potential ongoing compliance challenges. The property has had regular rodent control measures implemented, with bait applied and inspections showing continued rat activity through 2025, indicating a persistent pest management issue that requires ongoing attention.
