37 Vermilyea Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034

37 Vermilyea Avenue is a 5-story residential building located in Inwood, constructed in 1914 and currently containing 32 units. The property is currently experiencing multiple maintenance issues, with eight open complaints as of March 2025 related to various infrastructure problems including flooring, wall defects, and plumbing issues in sinks and bathtubs/showers. These complaints, filed with the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department, are awaiting access for inspections and repairs.

The building has a documented history of maintenance violations and repairs, most notably in September 2023 when violations were issued for several issues in apartments 1A and 2D, including problems with doors, floors, and water fixtures. While these violations have been officially closed, they indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent inspections have shown some concerning patterns; in 2024 there were multiple instances of rat activity requiring bait application throughout the year, though a March 2025 inspection passed with no issues.

The building experienced electrical problems in late 2024 with complaints about power outages and lighting issues, though these were eventually closed without violations. Notably, the property has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual filings from 2021 through 2025, indicating effective pest management in this regard. The building's management has generally responded to violations and service requests, as evidenced by multiple closed complaint resolutions, though several recent complaints remain open as of March 2025 awaiting inspection and resolution.
