930 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032

930 St. Nicholas Avenue is a 6-story, 56-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Jake Asher, located in Washington Heights. The building has undergone several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in late 2024 including multiple violations related to flooring, walls, ceilings, and radiators.

Notably, there are active violations from October 2024 in Apartment 59 concerning pest infestations (mice and roaches), hardwood floor repairs, and plaster/wall maintenance. The building has a documented history of structural concerns, particularly regarding the rear retaining wall which has been the subject of multiple Environmental Control Board violations from 2020-2022, with inspectors noting issues of the wall being "out of plumb" with "horizontal cracks" that require proper repair. The property has experienced various maintenance challenges over the past few years, including electrical issues (outlets and wiring problems), heat and hot water complaints, and the presence of lead-based paint concerns noted in 2022. The building has undergone regular inspections and has shown some improvement in pest management, with recent inspections in 2024 showing "Passed" results for rodent inspections, though there was significant rat activity documented earlier in 2023.

The property has active ECB violations related to failure to maintain building code compliance, with several penalties imposed for not addressing retaining wall issues. While the building has been complying with bedbug reporting requirements, with no current infestations noted, the persistent maintenance violations and structural concerns suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance. The property has also experienced various plumbing, electrical, and heating system issues, with multiple service requests and housing maintenance code complaints filed through 2022-2024, indicating a pattern of maintenance challenges that require attention. The building's permit history shows regular issuance of various repair and maintenance permits from 2018-2021, including plumbing and electrical work, suggesting ongoing efforts to address building systems maintenance.
