109 Audubon Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032

109 Audubon Avenue, a 3-story, 9-unit building in Washington Heights built in 1914, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heat/hot water emergency affecting the entire building in December 2024-December 2025, which prompted investigations by both HPD and DOHMH. The building has also faced recent plumbing issues, with multiple complaints regarding toilets, bathtubs/showers, and mold conditions in June 2025, all of which were marked as emergencies.

From 2019-2020, the property underwent construction work that resulted in multiple violations related to construction safety compliance, including improper scaffolding use, uncapped rebar safety hazards, and failure to maintain required worker safety information signs, with penalties totaling $12,900. The building's environmental health record shows consistent attention to pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2025).

Regular rodent inspections have been conducted annually from 2014 to 2024, all resulting in passing grades, suggesting effective pest management practices. While the heat and plumbing issues indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, the absence of bedbugs and successful rodent control demonstrates some areas of effective building management. The property has maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, showing no evidence of infestation during the reporting periods.
