560 Audubon Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10040

560 Audubon Avenue is a 6-story, 93-unit New Law Tenement building in Washington Heights, constructed in 1926 and currently managed by owner Wilfredo Burgos. The property has experienced several recent maintenance and safety concerns, particularly in 2025, with multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints regarding water supply issues, water leaks, wall paint conditions, and unsanitary mold conditions. Notably, there are active violations related to lead-based paint hazards in Apartment 1C, identified during an October 2024 inspection, requiring remediation as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

The building has a history of serious safety violations, including blocked fire escape pathways in 2022 and 2020, for which Oath Violations were served. Structural concerns were raised in 2023 regarding building shaking/vibration. The property maintains generally good pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported since 2019 and consistent passing rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025.

However, there are active Department of Buildings violations related to failure to file required External Low-Pressure Inspection documentation for 2023, and there is an open pest-related violation filed in June 2025. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues requiring attention, including multiple water-related complaints, door/window problems, and various surface condition concerns. While some violations have been promptly addressed and closed, others, particularly those related to lead paint hazards and safety issues, remain active or were only recently addressed. The property has shown regular compliance with rodent inspections, consistently passing since 2019, and has maintained a bedbug-free status for multiple reporting periods.
