1468 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033
The 16-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 1468 St Nicholas Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Zhi Lin and built in 1909, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and water systems. In 2025 alone, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints, including a recent door-related complaint filed in June 2025 that remains open and may require access coordination between HPD and the tenant. The building has a history of heat-related problems, with three separate building-wide heat/HW complaints filed in December 2024, and similar issues documented in previous years.
Notable current violations include multiple open Class C violations from December 2024 pertaining to building security, lead paint hazards, and window guards in Apartment 3D, as well as a pest infestation issue. Two open Class A violations from April 2024 concerning bedbug reporting requirements are also noteworthy. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of various issues requiring attention, with several HPD inspection results noting violations or requiring follow-up.
These include plumbing problems, ceiling plaster issues, and appliance-related concerns all documented in January 2025. While there have been periods of compliance regarding rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 passing, there were notably two rat activity inspections in 2023. The Department of Buildings issued a gas utility referral complaint in 2020 that was investigated but found to have no merit at the time of inspection. Despite some improvements, the current status of the open door complaint and several ongoing violations suggests continuing maintenance challenges within this historic tenement building.
