145 Wadsworth Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033

145 Wadsworth Avenue is a 5-story, 15-unit residential building constructed in 1907 in the Washington Heights neighborhood, currently managed by 145 Wadsworth Ave HDFC. The property has experienced several maintenance issues, particularly in 2024, with multiple housing code violations emerging in August of that year, including problems with an electric/gas range, paint/plaster issues on walls and ceilings, and plumbing concerns involving water supply and toilet facilities.

Notably, there are open violations related to lead paint hazards in apartment 5A, affecting various surfaces including walls, ceilings, and metal fixtures, as documented in an August 2024 inspection. More recently, in March 2025, there is an ongoing investigation into construction lead dust affecting common areas and apartments. The building's compliance history shows some significant concerns from 2023, including illegal occupancy issues with two unauthorized SROs in the cellar, which led to active environmental control board violations with associated penalties.

However, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. Regular rodent inspections over the past several years have consistently resulted in passing grades, indicating effective pest control measures. The building's recent maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure, particularly regarding heating, hot water, and various apartment systems, though inspections often found no violations despite reported complaints.
