300 Wadsworth Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10040

The 95-unit, 6-story building at 300 Wadsworth Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Morris Schreiber, has experienced several concerning issues in 2025, particularly between March and June. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, with three separate reports in April 2025, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored in each case. The building has also faced persistent pest problems, with violations issued for rodent infestations in late 2024/early 2025, and multiple 311 complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests and mold in early 2025.

Window frame issues have been reported in multiple instances, and there were concerns about water leaks and damp spots in May 2025. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of similar issues recurring over time, with documented pest infestations in apartment 5D (including roaches and mice) in late 2024, and violations related to self-closing fire doors in the first story public hall. Historical records indicate various maintenance and safety concerns in previous years, including elevator-related issues in 2018-2019, and multiple complaints about unauthorized work and debris in 2020.

Although the building has passed recent rodent inspections as of 2025, the recurring nature of heating, pest, and window-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024 indicate no infestations, with previous occurrences in 2022 and 2019 having been eliminated. Property permits from 2018-2019 show routine maintenance work being performed, including electrical and plumbing-related permits. The building's age (constructed in 1925) and classification as a New Law tenement contribute to its complex maintenance history, with multiple agency inspections and violation notices documenting various code requirements.
