110 Bennett Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033

The 6-story, 53-unit apartment building at 110 Bennett Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Alley Perez and constructed in 1940, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple building-wide complaints in 2024-2025, including emergency complaints in February 2025. The building has faced ongoing maintenance challenges, with an open unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage as of February 2025, following previous issues with pests and garbage storage in 2023-2024. Notably, there are currently several open violations related to lead-based paint hazards in Apartment MC, documented during a September 2023 inspection, affecting multiple surfaces including door frames, kitchen ceiling, and radiator.

The building's history includes problematic plumbing conditions, as shown by a January 2023 toilet complaint, and a 2022 boiler issue that resulted in multiple violations, though these were resolved with penalties. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2015, consistently passing these evaluations, and has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements except for a notable spike in reported infested units (8) in the 2024 reporting period, though all units were reportedly eradicated. Safety compliance checks in September 2023 revealed several administrative violations, including improper postings of smoke detector requirements and gas leak procedures, though these were subsequently addressed.

The building's systems and infrastructure have been monitored through various permit applications, with the most recent permits related to plumbing and electrical work issued in January 2023. The building has undergone periodic inspections for various maintenance issues, with some concerns documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code violations. Recent inspections from 2024-2025 have focused primarily on heat/hot water systems and building sanitation, with limited access for official inspections in some cases. Historical data shows consistent efforts by management to address and resolve violations, though some issues appear to recur, particularly those related to building systems and pest management.
