55 Nagle Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10040
The 48-unit, 6-story building at 55 Nagle Avenue in Inwood, owned by Ronald Edelstein and built in 1939, has faced several persistent maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with water infrastructure, including multiple complaints about water leaks (both heavy and slow), plumbing issues affecting bathtubs/showers and water supply, and violations related to water leaks at the vestibule ceiling. The building has also experienced recurring elevator service issues, with active complaints in 2025 regarding "No Alternate Service" problems that have been a documented concern since at least 2021.
Other significant issues include repeated heat/hot water complaints (most recently in 2025), rodent activity (with inspections showing both rat activity and periods of compliance), and various electrical and lighting problems. The building has outstanding violations related to its exterior conditions, including several open ECB violations from 2024-2025 regarding the building facade, parking structure reports, and elevator monitoring systems. A lay of 2024-06 inspection identified multiple Class A and C violations requiring repairs to self-closing doors and water leaks affecting the first-story vestibule ceiling.
While some historical violations have been dismissed (such as those related to the 2018 external low pressure inspection and past elevator tests), there are ongoing concerns about compliance with maintenance requirements, including the need for an annual bedbug report (Open violation from April 2024). Recent inspections have shown some progress in pest management, with the most recent rodent inspection in November 2024 passing. However, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, including plumbing, elevator service, and exterior maintenance, as evidenced by the pattern of complaints and violations over the past several years. The most recent 311 service request in February 2025 regarding heat/hot water conditions was closed due to lack of access for inspection.
