749 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10031

749 St Nicholas Avenue is a 4-story, 9-unit building located in Hamilton Heights, constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Manmohan Gadh. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems occurring between late 2022 and 2023, including mold (documented in November 2022 with violations), various plumbing issues affecting bathtubs, sinks, and water leaks, as well as pest problems. In 2021, multiple violations were recorded in Unit 1F regarding safety equipment, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, along with door-related issues, which were subsequently addressed.

The building's most recent inspection in May 2025 resulted in a pass for rodent control, though there was a rat activity notice in November 2023 and a failure for "Other Reasons" in May 2023 during rodent inspections. Significant safety concerns were present in 2021 when violations were noted for missing safety devices in Unit 1F, which were corrected. The building's environmental control board violation from March 2023 regarding illegal occupancy and emergency bedbug reporting requirements appears to have been resolved with no penalties.

Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations, with all reporting periods showing no affected units between 2020 and 2025. Recent inspections have generally passed, though there have been occasional warnings about maintenance issues, including paint/plaster problems and plumbing concerns, though most recent complaints from 2023 were closed without violations being issued. The building appears to be actively maintaining compliance with city regulations, as evidenced by the regular rodent inspections and the most recent successful inspections.
