27 Audubon Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032

27 Audubon Avenue, a 5-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Mike Spira, is experiencing multiple ongoing maintenance issues as of 2025. The most pressing concerns involve water-related problems, with open complaints regarding both heavy water leaks and water supply issues recorded in May 2025, following multiple plumbing and bathroom-related complaints in April 2025. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water supply issues, with varying degrees of access problems during inspections.

A series of maintenance issues emerged in March 2025, including concerns about flooring, door conditions, and wall/ceiling maintenance, though many of these complaints were marked as "Closed" after HPD inspections. The property has documented some significant safety and compliance matters in recent years. In late 2023, violations were issued for failing to properly file external low pressure inspections for 2022-2024, which remain active.

A safety inspection in 2023 resulted in violations for obstructed fire escape egress and missing safety notifications regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, though these were later certified as corrected between late 2023 and early 2024. The building has a pattern of water-related issues, as evidenced by historical documents showing plumbing problems in 2023, including leaks in Apartment 1. Additionally, there are recurring rodent activity reports throughout 2025, with multiple instances of rat activity recorded between December 2022 and March 2023, though bait was applied in response. Notably, the building's bedbug report for the most recent period (2024-2025) shows no infestations or eradications, indicating successful pest management in that regard.
