382 Wadsworth Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10040

The 382 Wadsworth Avenue building in Washington Heights, a 6-story New Law tenement constructed in 1912, is currently experiencing multiple maintenance issues that significantly affect resident comfort and safety. Most notably, there is an ongoing mold problem identified in February 2025 that remains unresolved, despite HPD's attempt to notify the property owner.

The building has also recently faced electrical issues, including power outages in May 2025, and multiple heating and hot water complaints between February and May 2025, some of which were not able to be inspected due to access issues. There are also concerning violations in apartments 2C, 2G, and 5E, including persistent mold, plaster and paint issues, and instances of infestation. The property has a documented history of elevator problems, with multiple complaints about the single elevator service and lack of alternate service dating back to 2019.

Recent maintenance records from 2024-2025 show ongoing issues with the ventilation system, water leaks, intercom system, and door frames. The building also has several active Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 related to boiler maintenance, including issues with missing dog bolts and backflow preventer problems, along with multiple outstanding violations regarding energy efficiency reporting and external inspections. While the building has maintained a compliant record regarding bedbug infestations (showing zero cases in recent filings), and passed recent rodent inspections, the cumulative effect of these maintenance issues suggests significant challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
