90 Wadsworth Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033

90 Wadsworth Avenue is a 5-story, 28-unit residential building constructed in 1906 in Washington Heights, currently owned by Sam Landau. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple plumbing complaints in 2025 regarding water supply problems, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access to conduct evaluations. A significant cluster of maintenance issues was documented in March 2021, including violations for water leaks, ceiling problems, window frame issues, and unsanitary conditions with pests, all of which received citations from HPD.

More recent violations from January 2024 include both open and closed citations relating to the roof, vestibule, and bulkhead areas, specifically concerning water leakage, door mechanisms, and paint conditions. While there have been heat and hot water complaints in the past (notably in 2018), the building's records show consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no reported infestations. The building underwent inspection for rodent control in December 2024, passing compliance requirements, though it failed an initial inspection in October 2024.

The Department of Buildings has conducted inspections with varying outcomes, including a gas utility referral in 2019 where access was denied. A permit was issued in February 2019 for unspecified work under job number 140830705. The property has maintained regular bedbug and rodent inspections, with all bedbug reports showing no infestation cases. While many past violations have been corrected and closed, the building continues to experience plumbing access issues, as evidenced by the recent 311 complaints in 2025, which required tenants to resubmit complaints for proper inspection access.
