235 Ft Washington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032
The six-story, 36-unit building at 235 Ft Washington Avenue, owned by Kenrick Ou and built in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. There are currently three open housing maintenance code violations from 2024-2025, including lead paint hazards, mold, and fire egress concerns in apartment 1B, along with plaster and paint deficiencies in apartment 5B.
The property has had recurring pest issues, with four unsatisfactory inspections by HPD in 2025 alone, though some earlier complaints were deemed not to violate housing laws. Of particular concern is an active construction lead dust complaint from March 2025. The building's elevator service has been a recurring issue, with multiple complaints between 2022-2024 about lack of alternate service, though inspections generally found no violations.
There are also concerns about facade maintenance - two active ECB violations from 2024 and 2018 relate to facade inspection report compliance, with associated penalties. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs in recent years, with no reported infestations since 2020, and passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2021-2025. While recent months have shown multiple maintenance issues requiring attention, the building generally passes regulatory inspections when conducted, though persistent access issues to HPD inspectors have resulted in complaint closures without resolution verification.
