22 Post Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034

22 Post Avenue is a 5-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Michael Haas. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent concerns centering on refrigerator problems in April 2025 and pest infestations in March 2025, though HPD inspections were unable to be completed in these instances. The building has faced multiple heating system challenges, with emergency heat/hot water complaints for the entire building recorded in February 2023.

Inspection records show persistent rodent activity with multiple bait applications throughout 2024-2025, and the building underwent several heating system violations through its history, including two ECB violations in 2019 and 2020 related to boiler maintenance issues, though these violations have since been resolved. The building's maintenance history reveals various safety and habitability concerns that have been addressed over time, including repairs to window sashes, bulkhead doors, and bathroom fixtures. Recent inspections in 2024 identified issues requiring attention to the 5th story bulkhead area, including defective fire retardant material and lighting.

The property has maintained an active pattern of addressing violations through permits, with multiple construction-related permits issued between 2018-2023, though a Stop Work Order was briefly issued in January 2023 but was fully rescinded by November 2023. While the building appears to have maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019 with zero reported infestations, the ongoing rodent control measures suggest this remains an area requiring attention. The property currently has no open violations as of October 2023, though several recent service requests remain unresolved pending re-inspection.
