Based on public NYC records. Not legal advice — verify with the DHCR (Division of Housing and Community Renewal) at apps.hcr.ny.gov.
The 6-story building at 1 Bennett Avenue in Washington Heights, built in 1950 and containing 56 units, has experienced recurring heating and water supply issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints filed regarding inadequate heat and hot water conditions during winter months. These complaints often resulted in HPD being unable to gain access for inspections. The building has also faced several emergency situations, including multiple instances of water supply problems in December 2024 and ongoing heat/hot water issues. A November 2024 inspection revealed several violations in the 6th story public hall areas, including requirements for painting, fire retardant material repairs, and roof leak corrections, though these violations have since been closed.
The property is currently facing several active violations, including a 2023 swarming condition violation and an unresolved unsafe façade issue from October 2023. There are multiple open ECB violations related to façade maintenance and failure to file required reports from 2018-2024. Elevator services have been a concern, with complaints about lack of alternate service in mid-2024 (Oath Violation Served). While there have been past concerns about safety features in individual apartments (e.g., missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 47, July 2024), these issues appear to have been addressed. The building has maintained a pest-free record for bedbugs since 2019, though there was documented rat activity in multiple inspections between 2018-2022, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing "Passed" results. The property owner, One Bennett Holding L.P., has been cited for various maintenance issues throughout the years, including a 2024 ECB violation for elevator maintenance requirements.
