140 Vermilyea Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034
140 Vermilyea Avenue is a 5-story, 40-unit residential building constructed in 1925 in the Inwood neighborhood, currently owned by Adam Hui. The property has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most concerning problems emerging in 2023-2024. Notable violations in 2023 included multiple classes of issues in Apartment 1J, such as mold, rodent infestation (open violations), and problems with cabinets, flooring, and smoke detectors.
The building has also faced recurring rodent-related challenges, with recent Department of Health inspections revealing violations requiring follow-up inspections as of November 2024. Three significant violations were issued in July 2023 regarding an unauthorized metal gate in the public hall, construction materials in the public hall, and an unauthorized lockable slide bolt at the fire door. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency issues requiring attention, including plumbing problems (bathtub, shower, toilet, sink), electrical concerns, and various structural problems documented between 2022-2023.
The property has undergone several Department of Buildings inspections related to heating system deficiencies and work without proper permits, with associated Environmental Control Board violations recorded in both 2021 and 2023 regarding plumbing work and oil tank conditions. However, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations since 2019, as per the NYC Bedbug Reporting system. The ongoing rodent control efforts are suggested by the pattern of inspections - recent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 passed, though there were failures recorded in 2024 and 2022.
