240 Audubon Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033

240 Audubon Avenue, a 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1920, currently managed by Boysie Siew, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. The building has frequently faced heating issues, with multiple heat/hot water complaints in early 2025 alone, though some were verified as having been corrected. More recent and concerning issues were reported in June 2025, including water leaks, ceiling damage, mold, pest infestations, and electrical problems, with some of these resulting in violations.

The building is currently subject to several open violations, including issues with self-closing fire doors, as noted in inspections from late 2024. In terms of building systems, there were notable elevator-related ECB violations in 2020-2021 regarding maintenance and safety concerns. The property has shown a pattern of reactive maintenance, with multiple service requests indicating various quality of life issues.

While there have been some successful resolutions to specific apartment issues (notably in Apartment 44, where multiple violations were addressed in early 2025), the persistent nature of many complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's record indicates relatively recent concerns with rodent activity, though most recent inspections have passed. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past several years (2019-2024), with no reported infestations in the last five filing periods. The property's age and the frequency of maintenance issues might require ongoing monitoring of work completion and living conditions.
