36 Ellwood Street, Manhattan, NY 10040
The 62-unit, 6-story building at 36 Ellwood Street in Inwood, owned by Susan Edelstein and built in 1935, has experienced a series of persistent maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water complaints in February 2025, as well as several plumbing issues involving sinks, bathtubs/showers, and water supply problems. In 2023, the building, and specifically apartment C6, was cited for multiple Class B violations including water leaks, pest infestations (roaches), and various maintenance issues such as defective plaster surfaces, missing escutcheon plates, and a defective smoke detector.
More recently, in June 2025, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding flooring, plumbing fixtures, and door frame issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these problems. The building has also faced significant infrastructure challenges, particularly concerning its elevator system. Between 2021 and 2024, there were multiple complaints about elevator speed and emergency phone functionality, with fines issued for non-compliance.
Two active violations remain in 2024 regarding the building's facade maintenance and chimney conditions, dating from 2021. The property has undergone several rodent inspections, with mixed results; recent inspections in 2024 showed compliance, but earlier years had multiple failures. Additionally, there is one active bedbug-related violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file an annual report, though previous filings showed minimal infestation history. The building's maintenance records indicate a pattern of deferred repairs and compliance issues, with several emergency complaints in 2025 remaining unresolved due to access issues during inspections.
