455 Ft Washington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033
The six-story tenement building at 455 Ft Washington Avenue in Washington Heights, constructed in 1910, has experienced notable ongoing maintenance and habitability issues over recent years. Most concerning is the building's recurring heat and hot water problems, with the most recent complaint filed in December 2024 remaining unresolved due to lack of access for inspection, and previous similar complaints documented in 2019 and 2021. The building has also faced challenges with unsanitary conditions, including an open mold violation as of August 2023 in apartment 6B, pest infestations (verified in November 2023), and repeated rat activity as evidenced by recent inspections in 2024.
Multiple complaints from 2023 suggest various maintenance issues, though inspections often found no violations. The building's management has received several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including issues with safety signage and maintenance requirements in 2021, and there are open violations from 2023 regarding swarm conditions and safety concerns. Historical records show a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency issues being reported and addressed, including water leaks (2020), and various maintenance problems such as flooring, painting, and plasterwork issues in 2023.
The building has a documented history of bedbug management, with one reported case in 2023-2024 being addressed properly, and previous infestations noted in 2019. The property has generated multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding work without proper permits in 2021, though inspections determined no violations at the time. Environmental inspections from 2018-2024 indicate irregular compliance with rodent control measures, with recent inspections in 2024 showing rat activity and failed inspections. Three open violations from 2023-2024 were dismissed, including one regarding unsafe swarm conditions, suggesting some inconsistency in enforcement and resolution of violations.
