590 Ft Washington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033
590 Ft Washington Avenue is a 79-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Charles Agovic. The building has experienced recurrent heating and hot water issues, particularly evident in May-June 2025 when multiple complaints were filed regarding system failures affecting the entire building. These issues resulted in emergency complaints and inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with some cases requiring multiple follow-ups and additional inspections.
Prior to these recent incidents, the building has had recurring elevator and heating system concerns, with multiple complaints about elevator service interruption between 2020-2025, and heating system problems in 2023-2024. The building's maintenance history shows several safety and maintenance violations requiring attention. In 2024, there were violations related to a vermin infestation in the basement (waterbugs) and the requirement to file annual bedbug reports.
A significant cluster of violations was documented in May 2023, including issues with fire door self-closing mechanisms, damaged fire retardant materials, and maintenance concerns in public areas. The property has had periodic rat infestation issues as evidenced by multiple rodent inspection reports from 2023-2024, though there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past two years according to the most recent filings. An active Department of Buildings complaint regarding Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections was entered in February 2025, and there are outstanding electrical-related violations from 2018 regarding unapproved equipment and electrical work in the building hallways. While many previous violations have been closed, including those related to boiler maintenance and various safety systems, the persistence of heating system issues and elevator service interruptions, along with the recent cluster of heating complaints, indicates ongoing challenges with building infrastructure.
