482 Ft Washington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033

The six-story, 48-unit building at 482 Fort Washington Avenue, constructed in 1930 and currently managed by 482 FT. WASHINGTON LLC, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years, with the most recent complaints occurring in October 2024. These complaints have typically been building-wide problems, with multiple tenants reporting the same issue.

The building has maintained a generally clean record for pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past two years, though there were two isolated cases noted between 2017 and 2019. Rodent inspections conducted annually from 2014 through 2024 have consistently resulted in passing grades, suggesting effective pest management. The property has faced several maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly regarding its exterior facade. Between 2023 and 2024, two violations were issued for failure to maintain the building's exterior, with specific issues noted about cracked stone and missing mortar joints.

A significant history of regulatory requirements not being met is evident, with multiple Failures to File (FISP) Technical Reports between 2018 and 2023, though these violations have since been dismissed. In 2020, work was performed without the necessary permits, resulting in a $6,250 violation that was later resolved. The building's management has generally addressed violations when they are brought to their attention, as evidenced by several "Closed" statuses on Housing Maintenance Code Complaints. However, access issues for housing inspections have been noted, as seen in the most recent heat/hot water complaints from 2024.
