80 Seaman Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034
80 Seaman Avenue, a 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1930 in Inwood, is currently experiencing multiple maintenance issues as of mid-2025. The building has had recurring problems with heating and hot water systems, with three separate heat/hot water complaints in March 2025 alone, one of which was an entire building issue. Most recently, a heat/hot water complaint was filed in May 2025, though it was quickly resolved. The property has also been dealing with pest problems, evidenced by multiple rodent inspection reports showing rat activity from 2024 through 2025, and inspections confirming these issues in 2024 and 2025.
Significant violations were noted in December 2023 within apartment 6C, including rodent infestation, lead paint hazards, and missing safety devices (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors). Previous violations from 2023-2024 included multiple hot water access issues, with apartments 3B and 4A specifically mentioned. The building's recent history includes several concerning events and complaints. In late 2024, there were complaints regarding building shaking and structural stability, though no violations were found during inspection.
An Environmental Control Board violation was issued in October 2024 related to an installed hoist at roof level, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. The building experienced a fire-related incident in late 2019, causing damage to apartments 2A and 3A, though this violation was later dismissed. There have been multiple 311 service requests throughout 2025, including open complaints about door issues as of May 2025, while earlier complaints in March 2025 involved plumbing problems and various maintenance issues that inspectors were unable to verify due to access issues by residents. The building's history shows consistent maintenance challenges that appear to impact resident comfort and safety, particularly regarding heating systems, pest control, and building access issues for inspections.
