54 Vermilyea Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034
54 Vermilyea Avenue is a 5-story, 21-unit New Law tenement building located in Inwood, constructed in 1917 and currently owned by Luis Martinez. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with the most recent complaint (as of May 2025) regarding unsanitary conditions and pests still remaining unresolved. Previous pest-related complaints were recorded in October 2024 and January 2021, with the 2021 incident also resulting in a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection that found violations.
The building has had multiple maintenance issues requiring attention, including heat/hot water problems (January 2022), multiple water leak incidents (October 2021), and ceiling paint/plaster concerns (October 2021), though no violations were issued for any of these incidents. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in June 2025 resulting in a passed inspection, following a failed inspection in March 2025. While there were violations issued in 2022 regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirements, these have since been resolved, and the subsequent three annual filings (2023-2025) show no infested units reported.
Additionally, there was a ventilator/exhaust violation in 2022 that was addressed and resolved. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of requiring ongoing attention to various maintenance issues, particularly regarding pest control, though recent rodent inspections indicate improved conditions. The overall trend suggests most immediate emergency issues have been addressed, though some recent complaints regarding unsanitary conditions remain unresolved as of the latest inspection dates.
