188 Audubon Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033
188 Audubon Avenue is a 12-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building located in Washington Heights, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Anslem Holder. The property has experienced recurring heating issues in recent months, with two emergency heat/hot water complaints in December 2024, one affecting the entire building and another affecting a single apartment. The building has an active rat control problem, with multiple inspections in late 2024 and early 2025 consistently showing rat activity, though bait has been applied during these inspections.
Multiple housing maintenance code violations remain unresolved, including requirements for proper carbon monoxide detector notices and bedbug reporting documentation from July 2023, as well as defective fire escape components documented in November 2018 that have not been corrected. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, including unsanitary conditions in garbage storage areas (2023), plumbing problems (2020), and various inspections showing no violations for multiple complaints. While there have been several building complaints regarding water leaks, plumbing issues, and floor concerns, most have been resolved without violation issuance.
The property has maintained a consistent record of completing annual bedbug reports showing no infestations. Recent rodent inspections from December 2024 through February 2025 have shown ongoing rat activity, indicating persistent pest control challenges. The building's permit records from 2018 and 2019 show approved work related to electrical and other system maintenance, though specific details of these improvements are not provided in the available data.
