1445 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033

1445 St Nicholas Avenue is a 5-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Avraham Dishi. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging in late 2024, when multiple complaints were filed regarding electrical problems (outlets/switches and wiring), pest infestations, and wall conditions, though HPD inspections were unable to be completed. Earlier in 2023, the building faced violations related to plumbing, painting, and ventilation systems, particularly affecting apartment 2S, which had documented issues with roaches, leaking fixtures, and various repair needs.

The building's maintenance history shows persistent challenges, including two separate pest infestation complaints and multiple ventilation-related issues. The property has undergone several inspections and interventions over the years. In 2022, apartment 5S experienced various problems including roof leaks and rodent issues, while in 2019, there were concerns about the condition of the masonry chimney that required attention.

Recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2023 passed, indicating some improvement in pest management. The building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods (2020-2025), showing zero cases, and recent rodent inspections in October 2024 also resulted in a pass. The Department of Buildings has documented several violations and complaints over the years, including a 2019 ECB violation regarding the chimney condition, though most historical violations have been resolved. A permit for exterior work was issued in December 2018, suggesting some ongoing maintenance and improvements to the building's infrastructure.
