265 Cabrini Boulevard, Manhattan, NY 10040

265 Cabrini Boulevard is a 49-unit, 6-story residential building in Washington Heights, built in 1937 and currently owned by Kenneth Yustman. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with documented complaints in 2023, 2022, and 2021, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments. These problems, classified as emergencies by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), have generally been resolved quickly, though tenant access for inspections has sometimes been a barrier to verification.

Other maintenance concerns in 2023 included plumbing issues in a sink basin, and mold-related problems, both of which were investigated without resulting in violations. The building has maintained a good record regarding pest control; bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show zero infested units, and regular rodent inspections have consistently passed. There have been multiple complaints about illegal commercial or manufacturing use in the residential zone between 2018 and 2025, though inspections did not warrant any violations.

The property filed its annual bedbug report as required in 2024, showing no infestations. A technical report violation was issued in 2019 but was dismissed in 2020 after compliance. Recent sidewalk shed complaints in 2025 were also investigated but found no violations. The building has had several permits issued in recent years for plumbing and other work, with the most recent being in 2021.
