1001 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032
1001 St. Nicholas Avenue is a 6-story, 18-unit old law tenement building located in Washington Heights, constructed in 1902 and currently owned by Joseph Willner. The building has experienced recurrent heating and water issues in recent months, with multiple emergency complaints between January and March 2025 regarding heat/hot water problems affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, along with plumbing and water leak issues.
These complaints typically resulted in Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) being unable to gain access for inspections. The building has a documented history of pest problems, particularly in apartment 32, with violations issued in 2023-2024 for roach and mouse infestations, though recent bedbug reports from 2024-2025 show no current infestations. Significant maintenance concerns have included lead paint hazards, carbon monoxide detector issues, and problems with various floor surfaces in apartment 32, most of which have been addressed and certified as corrected.
The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with bait applied regularly between 2010-2019, and demonstrated documented rat activity in 2010 and 2019. While there were complaints regarding blocked egress in 2022 and a gas utility issue in 2018, inspections found no violations at those times. The property's recent heating and water issues, as well as the historical pest problems, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though many past violations have been resolved through required certifications.
