690 Ft Washington Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10040
690 Fort Washington Avenue is a 6-story, 100-unit residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Alex Cruz. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly in 2025, with multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pest problems, including several HPD complaints (many of which were uninspectable due to access issues) and three emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints related to pests. There were also significant recent concerns regarding building-wide heat and hot water systems in 2025.
The building has faced ongoing elevator maintenance challenges, with multiple complaints regarding "Multiple Devices on Property" between late 2023 and 2025, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 resulted in ECB violations being resolved. The property has documented history of various maintenance issues requiring attention, including several Housing Maintenance Code violations that have been closed, such as ceiling repairs, door issues, and problems with the fire escape. There have been persistent rodent activity issues noted between 2024 and 2025, with repeated inspections showing rat activity. The building has also experienced four instances of bedbug infestations from 2018 to 2024, with the most recent documentation showing two units affected in 2024.
Additional historical data shows elevator and boiler compliance issues, including penalties for violations of elevator door monitoring requirements in 2020, as well as several environmental violations related to elevator maintenance and boiler conditions. The building's maintenance record indicates ongoing challenges with both preventive maintenance and timely resolution of resident complaints, particularly regarding access for inspections and prompt repairs. Recent filings and inspections suggest that while some issues have been addressed through the issuance and resolution of violations, there remain persistent concerns about pest control, heating systems, and elevator maintenance. The building's management has generally addressed violations when they are properly documented and inspected, as indicated by the "resolved" status on many past violations and fines being paid, though recurring and persistent problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
