53 Vermilyea Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034
The 5-story, 25-unit building at 53 Vermilyea Avenue in Inwood, owned by Rasim Toskic, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, though it remains operational. Most notably, between April 2024 and November 2024, there were multiple violations issued related to water leaks, flooring issues, and mold, particularly affecting Apartment 4D, which had multiple violations for floor damage, door issues, and bathroom walls. More recent concerns include an April 2025 complaint about the building's intercom system, which HPD inspectors were unable to access for inspection, and a March 2025 inspection that resulted in the building passing rodent control measures.
The building has a history of maintenance challenges, with significant violations recorded in late 2022 through 2024 regarding facade deterioration, including cracked terracotta and spalling stucco issues that led to multiple ECB violations and fines. A 2024 ECB violation noted a concerning partial ceiling collapse in Bedroom #2 of Apartment 4D. While there have been periodic reports of bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2023, recent filings from 2022 to 2024 show no current infestations.
The building's maintenance history includes recurring issues with water leaks, flooring problems, and various repairs needed to common areas. The property has undergone several inspections, with recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025 showing improvements, as all passed, though there were issues noted in December 2022. The building's age (1925) and ongoing maintenance requirements suggest a property requiring consistent attention to various building systems and habitability standards.
