10 Bennett Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033

The building at 10 Bennett Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Max Ostrow LLC, is a 6-story, 44-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1929. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly notable in the most recent complaints from July 2024 and October 2023, with problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Recent structural and maintenance concerns include newly reported issues in July 2024 involving paint/plaster problems and water leaks, though inspections found no violations. The building has also had historical challenges with its heating systems, having documented complaints in 2021 and 2019. Current violations noted from July 2024 include problems with self-closing doors, particularly in apartment 5D and at the first story public hall, though these were certified for correction in August 2024.

The building's elevator system faced a penalty in February 2020 for not having door lock monitoring installed, which was resolved with a $1,250 fine. While the property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2019 showing no infestations, and has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2016 through 2024, there remains an active violation from December 2021 regarding failure to display energy efficiency scores. The building has also experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system in 2020, and has had multiple inspections for rodent control showing consistent compliance with health regulations.
