88 Nagle Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10040

The four-story, five-unit residential building at 88 Nagle Avenue in Inwood, owned by Ron Nahum, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1989. Most notably, there are multiple open violations from 2018 related to building safety and code compliance, including concerns about unauthorized alterations to the roof access and storage of combustible materials in the boiler room, as well as issues with a wood storage shed in the rear yard. These violations include citations for work performed without proper permits, such as unapproved sprinkler system installations and electrical modifications. While there were instances of power outages and water issues in 2019, these problems were reportedly resolved promptly.

The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, with some failing inspections indicating rat activity, though recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed. Between 2022 and 2024, there was one documented bedbug infestation that was reportedly eradicated, with subsequent annual reports showing no further infestations. The property has a history of sanitation-related complaints, including garbage storage issues in 2020 and pest control problems in late 2019, though these were addressed without violations being issued. The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2025, and inspections have confirmed the building's current status as rodent-free, despite previous challenges with pest control.

The building's documented issues reveal a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly during 2018-2019, when multiple violations and complaints were recorded. While many of these historical issues have been addressed, current open violations warrant attention, including concerns about the building's roof access security and unauthorized alterations. The property management appears to have improved response times to maintenance issues in recent years, as evidenced by the relatively few recent complaints and inspections. The building's most recent bedbug reports (2023-2025) indicate a significant reduction in pest control issues compared to earlier years, though past infestations were documented. Regular rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025 show variable results, with both rat activity and successful baiting operations recorded, though recent inspections have generally passed.
