140 Wadsworth Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033
The 6-story, 36-unit apartment building at 140 Wadsworth Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by John Catalic and constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues between 2023 and 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD. From December 2023 through June 2025, there were seven documented incidents of heat/hot water problems in various units, including a building-wide outage in November 2024, and an inspection in April 2024 resulted in a Class C violation for inadequate heat in Apartment 28.
The building has an active ECB violation from September 2024 regarding a faulty elevator door zone restrictor with a $1,250 penalty, and historical elevator issues are documented through multiple complaints between 2019 and 2024. The property has undergone several inspections for pest control, with reports of rat activity in 2022-2024, though recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infestations. Building maintenance records from 2019 show various improvements were made, including repairs to Apartment 5's bathroom door and ceiling surfaces.
The building has faced challenges with compliance reporting, including outstanding violations for not filing 2023 external low pressure inspection and benchmarking reports as of 2024. While there were historical violations for unsafe facade conditions and inadequate safety measures in 2020 with significant penalties, these appear to have been resolved. Recent rodent inspections in 2024 showed continued activity, though some earlier inspections in 2023-2024 resulted in passing grades.
