366 Wadsworth Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10040

The 26-unit, 5-story building at 366 Wadsworth Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Agnes Farkas, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, from February 2025, there were multiple complaints requiring HPD inspections that resulted in violations, including problems with doors/windows (including emergency door issues), an intercom system, and various maintenance matters including water leaks, electrical issues, and heating problems.

The building has a concerning pattern of rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 showing consistent rat presence, though previous years generally passed rodent inspections. Historical data reveals significant maintenance challenges, particularly in late 2024 when two apartments (33 and 43) had hot water supply violations, along with various other issues in apartment 43 including water leaks, ceiling problems, and infestation concerns. The building has a history of illegal conversion complaints dating back to 2018, though inspectors were often unable to gain access.

In 2019-2020, there were serious violations involving a hoarding condition in apartment 5 that obstructed egress, though this issue appears to have been resolved. While bedbug reports show minimal infestation (with only one reported case in late 2023), the building's environmental control board violations and failure to comply with orders in 2021-2022 resulted in penalties. The property has generally maintained compliance with rodent inspections in most years since 2019, though recent 2025 inspections indicate renewed rodent problems.
