326 Audubon Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033

326 Audubon Avenue is a 6-story, 36-unit residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by 326 Audubon Ave Inc. The property has experienced recurring maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years, most notably in 2025 with multiple unresolved complaints regarding unsanitary conditions (including mold and pests), structural issues (including flooring problems), and building maintenance (including paint and plaster work on walls and ceilings). The building has an ongoing elevator service reliability concern, with multiple active complaints in 2025 about the single-device elevator system lacking alternate service.

Significant housing maintenance code violations include an open violation from 2023 requiring annual bedbug report filing, and previous issues with heat and hot water supply in Apartment 61 as well as infrequent hot water availability problems in 2024. The property has faced various infrastructure and safety challenges, including open violations from 2024 regarding access to the heating system and multiple energy-related citation failures to file required benchmarking reports between 2018 and 2023. While some maintenance issues have been resolved, such as the plumbing problem with steam pipes/risers that was addressed in April 2025, the building's persistent issues suggest ongoing maintenance and management challenges.

The building has undergone several safety inspections, with mixed results including both passed and failed rodent inspections between 2017 and 2024. Past violations have included unauthorized construction work and electrical installations, though these specific issues were generally resolved. The property's age and history as a "New Law Tenement" suggest it retains many original structural features, which may contribute to its ongoing maintenance needs.
