75 Post Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034

75 Post Avenue is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law tenement building built in 1940, currently owned by David Nahum. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly notable in late 2024 and throughout 2023 when multiple emergency complaints were filed about lack of heating and hot water in the entire building.

These complaints often resulted in inspections where access to units could not be gained to verify the conditions. Other maintenance concerns have included plumbing issues (most recently in July 2023), electrical range problems (most recently in November 2024), and previous reports of unsanitary conditions including pests in mid-2018.

Significant building modifications and compliance issues emerged in late 2023 when three unauthorized SRO units were discovered in the building's cellar adjacent to the boiler room, leading to Environmental Control Board violations regarding illegal occupancy, use of prohibited hardware, and unpermitted construction work. The building's exterior has also faced scrutiny, with violations recorded in 2020 regarding facade disrepair and missing terracotta elements. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past six years, and recent rodent inspections in early 2025 passed, though an October 2024 inspection noted "rat activity." While the building has passed several recent inspections, including rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, the persistent heating system issues and the recent unauthorized unit discovery suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
