189 Audubon Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033

189 Audubon Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit residential building located in Washington Heights, owned by Rasim Toskic and constructed in 1910 as an Old Law Tenement. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in early 2025, including three emergency heat/hot water complaints between February and March 2025, and another in March 2025.

More recently, as of June 2025, there are open emergency complaints regarding flooring/stairs and mold issues, along with a non-emergency complaint about paint/plaster conditions. The building has undergone various maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in 2024, primarily affecting apartments 1N and 5N, including issues with water leaks, mold, window repairs, and plaster surfaces. The property has maintained a relatively active record of rodent inspections, with the most recent being a passed inspection in October 2024, though there were notable failures for rat activity in December 2023 and June 2022.

Bedbug reports have shown some previous activity in 2020 and 2018, but for the past four consecutive years (2021-2024), there have been no reported infestations or eradications. The building classifies as an Old Law Tenement, commonly associated with pre-1938 construction in New York City, and has been subject to regular housing inspections and maintenance requirements. The property has also undergone various inspections related to window frames, doors, and plumbing issues, while maintaining compliance with recent bedbug monitoring requirements, though some other inspection requests have faced access issues for proper evaluation.
