1464 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033

The 5-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building at 1464 St Nicholas Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Evelyn Panora, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly over the past two years. Most notably, in December 2023, the building received multiple violations requiring attention to ventilation systems, mold remediation, and ceiling repairs, primarily affecting apartment 3W.

Between late 2023 and early 2024, there were multiple door and window-related service requests and violations, including issues with door frames, window frames, and various doors throughout the building. The Department of Buildings has recorded an active violation regarding a detached fire escape stair tread between the 4th and 5th floors, which was imposed with a $1,250 penalty in March 2022 - representing an immediate hazard condition. The building has shown consistent challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort, including a cluster of violations in December 2023 involving mold, ventilation systems, and plaster/paint issues.

While there have been periodic rodent inspections (with the most recent in October 2024 passing), past records from 2022 show rat activity before improvements were made. Notably, the building's history shows no reported bedbug infestations since 2019, and the most recent filings (2022-2025) indicate no current infestation problems. The property has also experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including a March 2022 failure to maintain building systems properly, and concerns about illegal hotel rooms were investigated in 2020, though no violations were confirmed at that time.
