301 Wadsworth Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10040

301 Wadsworth Avenue, a 6-story, 47-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Devika Ramroop, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past couple of years, with the most recent problems centering around heating systems and ceiling maintenance. Between 2024-2025, there were multiple complaints and violations regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with inspections often being unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

In May 2025, a new ceiling paint violation was documented, while in 2024, the building faced various issues including water leaks, wall paint problems, and safety concerns related to window guards. The building has also had three instances of rodent sightings in 2024-2025, though recent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 have passed. Significant maintenance violations were documented in 2024, particularly affecting apartment 4G, including issues with lead-based paint hazards, mold conditions, and various general maintenance problems which were subsequently certified as corrected.

The building has active Department of Buildings violations related to energy efficiency scores and benchmarking reports, dating back to 2021-2022, suggesting ongoing compliance issues with energy reporting requirements. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained an active status of zero bedbug infestations over the past six reporting years and overall shows a pattern of addressing violations through certifications, though often following initial inspection findings. Recent rodent inspections have generally passed, indicating improved pest control measures, while multiple permits were issued in 2019 for unspecified work, suggesting some ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts by management.
