940 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032

940 St. Nicholas Avenue is a 6-story, 73-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Daun Paris and located in Washington Heights. The building has experienced multiple concerning issues in 2025, particularly between February and April, with several complaints regarding water leaks (both heavy flow and damp spots), mold problems, safety concerns involving smoke detectors, electrical issues including no lighting, and pest infestations.

Of particular note is the occupancy of unit 6I, which was cited in December 2024 for significant mold and pest issues requiring abatement. Unit 4G has multiple open violations from December 2024 regarding various maintenance issues including damaged floors, plaster surfaces, and bathroom tiles. The building has a documented history of pest problems, with multiple 311 complaints regarding infestations between 2024 and 2025.

While the property has passed multiple rodent inspections in recent years (2021-2024), the presence of mold, water leaks, and various maintenance issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The Department of Buildings records show consistent compliance with routine safety inspections, including three consecutive years of passing tenant safety inspections, though there was a failure to file required FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report in 2023. The building's environmental control board records from 2018 indicate previous fines for failure to submit required exterior wall examination reports, though these were resolved. The property has maintained a regular schedule of Bed Bug Reporting, with no infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024), and has had consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all requirements since 2016.
