1071 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032
The 6-story, 31-unit residential building at 1071 St. Nicholas Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Smajlje Srdanovic, has experienced multiple significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are persistent concerns about exterior building maintenance, with multiple active violations from 2023-2025 citing problems with cracked terra cotta, damaged mortar joints, and spalling masonry on various building exposures.
There were also multiple heating and hot water complaints in early 2025, including one classified as an emergency, along with two pest-related complaints in April 2025 that could not be properly inspected due to access issues. The building has experienced recurring indoor air quality concerns, with two documented instances of chemical vapors/odors in 2025, and there was a smoking/vaping violation in March 2025. The property has a documented history of infrastructure and safety maintenance challenges, including water supply issues, plumbing problems, and various interior surface maintenance needs as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations.
A significant violation regarding an obstructed fire escape was issued in October 2024, though some sidewalk shed complaints from 2023-2025 were found to have no violations at the time of inspection. While the building has not reported any bedbug infestations since 2019 and passed recent rodent inspections in 2024, there are ongoing environmental control board violations related to building maintenance, some of which have resulted in penalties. The building's maintenance history shows both routine and emergency repairs have been needed across various systems, particularly in 2024-2025, suggesting a pattern of delayed maintenance resolution and access-related inspection challenges.
