914 St Nicholas Avenue is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building in Washington Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Alexis Mc Sween. The property has recurring issues with non-compliance on annual bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations noted in 2021 through 2024 suggesting ongoing administrative oversight. Multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations have been issued for failure to file External Low Pressure Inspection reports from 2018 through 2023, and an active violation as of September 2024 remains outstanding for failing to file the 2023 inspection.

Recent rat activity was confirmed in compliance inspections from September and October 2024, though earlier inspections from 2019 through 2023 generally resulted in "Passed" findings or varied results. The building has experienced various construction-related issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints filed in 2023-2025 regarding sidewalk shed/scaffold conditions, unauthorized work, and demolition concerns, though inspections generally found no violations or resolved the issues. In 2024, a penalty of $2,500 was imposed for worker training violations involving improper certification.

Historical records show a significant number of ongoing procedural violations, including a 2019 Stop Work Order related to withdrawn construction applications. The property has typically maintained valid Certificates of Occupancy and property registration, though there have been instances of lapsed registration periods requiring subsequent renewals. While the building has undergone various work requiring permits and has had some construction-related complaints, most inspections resulted in no violations, suggesting effective resolution of immediate safety concerns despite the presence of ongoing administrative violations and inspection lapses.
