60 Seaman Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034

The 61-unit residential building at 60 Seaman Avenue in Inwood, owned by Yehuda Levi, has experienced persistent heat and hot water system issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints indicating building-wide outages. Between March and April 2025, there were eight emergency complaints related to heat and hot water service, affecting both individual apartments and entire building systems. This pattern of heating system problems appears to correlate with inspection findings from late 2024, which noted violations in apartments 1A, 1D, and 3J regarding inadequate heat supply.

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2024-2025 concerning the exterior building facade, with penalties totaling over $18,000 for inadequate repairs, cracked masonry, and other maintenance issues. Additional concerns documented in 2024-2025 include safety violations such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2K, rodent activity as evidenced by multiple inspection reports (most recently in April 2025), and various elevator-related issues. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about single-device operation and no alternate service between 2023 and 2025, though some complaints were dismissed upon inspection.

The building's fire safety systems have also received attention, with violations noted for missing or defective window guards in apartment 3B and lead paint concerns. While the building appears to have maintained a rodent control program with regular inspections, the presence of rat activity was noted in multiple inspections from 2020 through 2024, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing. The property has consistently filed "no infestation" reports for bedbugs since 2021, indicating effective management of this particular pest issue.
