118 Vermilyea Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034
This 65-unit, 5-story New Law Tenement building at 118 Vermilyea Avenue in Inwood, owned by Smajlje Srdanovic and constructed in 1925, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a fire incident in June 2025 that caused water, smoke, and structural damage, affecting multiple floors and compromising fire safety equipment. The building has a documented history of persistent maintenance and health concerns, including multiple instances of water leaks, pest infestations (including roaches and mice), and appliance malfunctions.
Between 2024 and 2025, there were numerous housing maintenance code violations and complaints related to unsanitary conditions, water damage, and problems with building systems. The property has undergone various inspections and received violation notices for failing to maintain safety equipment, including smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in apartments J21 and J31, and for issues with floor conditions, plumbing, and electrical systems. The building has experienced recurring issues with rat activity, with multiple compliance inspections between 2023 and 2025 consistently confirming the presence of rodents.
While bedbug reports from 2022 to 2024 show no active infestations, the property has had documented violations related to work performed without proper permits, particularly during 2019-2021, resulting in several Environmental Control Board penalties. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 have focused on tenant safety and building stability, with varying results including partial vacate orders and compliance inspections. The management has generally addressed violations and complaints, with many being certified as corrected, though some inspections were hindered by access issues.
