40 Wadsworth Terrace, Manhattan, NY 10040
40 Wadsworth Terrace is a 5-story, 33-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Kenneth Gerstenfeld and located in Washington Heights. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints filed through the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department, including seven emergency complaints between January and March 2025 that were either duplicates or where inspectors could not gain access to apartments for verification. A pattern of access issues for inspections and repeat complaints suggests ongoing concerns with the building's heating system.
The building underwent a tenant safety inspection on February 20, 2025, which resulted in a compliance inspection. A violation remains active regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection, issued on June 20, 2023. Earlier records from February 2024 indicate several violations in Apartment 5, including issues with mold, window repairs, and bathroom conditions, though these were certified as corrected by February 2024.
The building's common areas have faced maintenance challenges, with a November 2023 violation regarding fire safety materials in the 5th story public hall stairs, and an October 2023 violation concerning fire escape access. While the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2022, with the most recent one in April 2025 showing "Passed" status, there was documented rat activity in multiple inspections during 2021-2022. The bedbug reporting history from 2020-2024 shows minimal infestations, with only one unit reported in 2020 and five in 2019, all of which were marked as eradicated. The most recent reports from 2022-2024 indicate no bedbug infestations.
