66 Post Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034

66 Post Avenue is a 5-story, 40-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1917 in Inwood, currently owned by Jerome Waxenberg. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints in the first half of the year, including building-wide outages in February, March, April, and June.

These recurring problems have been documented through both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, with emergency responses confirming restoration of services, though access for inspections was sometimes not granted. The building has also faced significant code compliance issues, with active ECB violations as of 2024 regarding obstructed egress due to air conditioning units on upper floors and an outstanding violation related to failing to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition. Recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have indicated fluctuating rodent activity, with some inspections passing and others showing rat activity, particularly in late 2024 when an infestation was noted.

Historical violations from 2018-2023 reveal various maintenance issues, including pest infestations (notably roaches in 2A and mice in 4E), plumbing concerns, and interior maintenance needs such as plaster repairs and bathroom fixture issues. The building's management has generally addressed violations through certification, though not all problems have been fully resolved, as evidenced by multiple open violations, particularly regarding hot water issues in apartment 2A. While the property has maintained a bedbug-free status since 2019 with no reported infestations in the past six years, the ongoing heating system challenges and periodic pest control needs suggest continuing maintenance requirements.
