119 Payson Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034
119 Payson Avenue is a 6-story, 43-unit residential building in Inwood, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Payson Avenue Holding LLC. The building has experienced recurring plumbing issues in recent years, with three complaints in 2025 alone: an open toilet-related complaint from March 2025 and a closed sink-related complaint from April 2025, though HPD was unable to complete an inspection for the latter. Between 2019 and 2020, there were several significant code compliance issues, including three Environmental Control Board violations related to unpermitted work in late 2019 concerning water and waste lines installation and an illegal gas line for a commercial dryer.
These violations were ultimately resolved with no penalties imposed. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2014 through 2024, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 showing compliance. The property has shown a positive trend in pest control management in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported between 2022 and 2025, following a notable outbreak in 2019-2020 involving 11 units.
While there was one unsanitary conditions complaint in 2020 regarding garbage/recycling storage that was resolved, and a pigeon waste complaint that could not be inspected, the building's overall maintenance record has improved. The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in 2019 (Special Operations Compliance) and 2024 (regarding water drainage issues), with no violations found during the latter inspection. Regular maintenance and compliance with rodent control requirements suggest ongoing commitment to building upkeep, though the recent plumbing issues indicate some continued challenges in maintaining all building systems.
