1649 St Nicholas Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10040

1649 St Nicholas Avenue is a 5-story, 80-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Luis Guevara. As of February 2025, the building has multiple open complaints with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) including issues with window frames, plumbing (radiator and toilet), and an electric/gas range. Recent complaints from 2024 involved various maintenance issues such as flooring, door frames, and walls, though many of these were subsequently closed after inspection.

The building experienced several significant issues in Apartment 12D during 2024-2025, including a C-class violation for pest infestations (roaches and mice), along with maintenance issues involving doors, windows, floors, and bathroom fixtures, though most have been closed following corrections. The property has ongoing compliance requirements related to energy efficiency, with multiple active violations dating from 2021-2024 regarding failure to file benchmarking reports and display energy scores. A boiler-related ECB violation was issued in July 2023 concerning water heater registration and maintenance, with a penalty of $625. The building has maintained an active rodent inspection record, with passed inspections in recent years, though there was one failure for "Other Reasons" in July 2021 and rat activity noted in March 2021.

Importantly, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in annual filings between 2020 and 2025, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. The building's repair and maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations through inspections and corrections, though some issues remain ongoing as of the latest available data. Regular inspections have been conducted, and while many historical violations have been closed, the property continues to receive both emergency and non-emergency complaints that require attention. The most recent inspections and complaints suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly regarding windows, plumbing, and various interior surfaces.
