745 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031

745 St. Nicholas Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit converted Class A building located in Hamilton Heights, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Ralph King. The building has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over the past several years, particularly regarding pest control compliance.

Most notably, there are four open violations (as of April 2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, despite similar violations dating back to 2018. The property has also dealt with multiple rodent control issues, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing passing results, though there was a failed inspection in late 2024. Historical violations from 2018 indicate significant pest control issues in apartment 2R, where both bedbug and roach infestations were documented. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning safety issues.

In early 2018, apartment 1R had violations for lacking carbon monoxide detectors and inadequate heating supply. More recently, in April 2023, there was an active violation related to failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection, which remains unresolved as of the latest records. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2019, with varying results, though recent inspections in 2025 passed, suggesting some improvement in rodent control compliance. While there have been periodic health department inspections, including one in 2024 regarding mobile food vendor activity, the building's persistent pattern of documentation and compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and rodent management, merits attention.
