260 Ft Washington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10032
The 49-unit, 6-story building at 260 Ft Washington Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Marc Tietellbaum and constructed in 1930, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, with the entire building experiencing issues as recently as January 2025.
The building has also grappled with persistent rodent problems, as evidenced by multiple inspections in 2025 showing rat activity, and an active baiting program in place since 2023. The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, particularly during the 2020-2021 period, when multiple violations were recorded regarding wall and ceiling conditions, unsanitary conditions, and various other repair needs. The building has shown some improvement in pest management recently, with the latest bedbug reports (2024-2025) showing no current infestations, following three reported cases in 2022-2023.
However, there are still several open violations from 2021 regarding maintenance issues in apartment 6D, including problems with plaster surfaces and roof leaks. The Department of Buildings has active violations related to filing requirements (FISP and benchmarking reports) as of 2019-2020, though some violations from 2022 were confirmed as resolved. Recent 311 complaints and Department of Health inspections have covered a range of issues, including food safety concerns (2024), smoking violations (2023), and various maintenance problems, though many of these complaints were either closed without violations or referred to other agencies.
