280 Wadsworth Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10040
280 Wadsworth Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Washington Heights, owned by Cathy Cao and constructed in 1901. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly between 2022-2023, with multiple complaints related to unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations and mold. Notably, there were recurring pest issues throughout 2022, with multiple violations documented by both HPD and DOHMH, including four separate pest-related complaints between May and September 2022.
Water-related problems were also prevalent, with two emergency water leak complaints recorded in May and June 2022, as well as issues with garbage/recycling storage and ceiling conditions. The building has documented violations regarding necessary repairs in Apartment 1, including broken bathroom floor tiles, defective kitchen counter tops, and issues with the bathroom vanity. There are ongoing open violations from September 2022 related to pest infestation, bathroom tiles, kitchen cabinets, and painting/plaster work.
More recent history shows some improvement in the building's conditions, with the most recent bedbug reports (2023-2024) indicating no infested units, and the property passed its March 2024 rodent inspection, with no active rat activity reported at that time. However, there was prior rat activity noted during inspections in early 2024, suggesting ongoing rodent control measures were necessary. The property is currently required to comply with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by the 2024 notices of violation. While many of the earlier complaints have been resolved, the building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2022, with multiple violations requiring attention to different aspects of the building's maintenance and habitability.
