142 West End Avenue
Composite verdict
142 West End Avenue is a 29-floor, 561-unit condo built in 1964, managed by 140 West End Avenue Owners Corp. HPD shows zero open violations across all classes, with a fast landlord-response record — a genuinely clean compliance picture. The main flags worth probing are 23 HEAT/HOT WATER 311 complaints in the past 12 months (the second-highest complaint category), 40 units deregulated since 2007 out of a small remaining stabilized pool of 6, and 2 bedbug infestations recorded in the past 3 years. Crime within 150 meters is low at 10 incidents total (3 felonies, 1 violent, 0 shootings), though the wider 300-meter radius shows 74 incidents — worth keeping in perspective against Manhattan's borough-wide 30,270.

- 311 records show 23 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the past 12 months — what is the building's heating system, when was the boiler last serviced, and how are heat outages handled for a 561-unit building?
- 40 units have been deregulated since 2007, and only 6 stabilized units remain out of 493 tracked — if the unit being offered was previously stabilized, what was the legal deregulation basis and can you provide documentation?
- 2 bedbug infestations were recorded in the past 3 years — which floors or unit lines were affected, what treatment protocol was used, and is there an ongoing prevention program in the building?
- Noise data shows 17 residential noise complaints and 7 street/sidewalk noise complaints in the past 12 months, earning a moderate noise rating — which side of the building does this unit face, and are there any known noise sources (mechanical equipment, street activity) on that exposure?
- The building was built in 1964 and is 62 years old — beyond the boiler, what major infrastructure (plumbing risers, electrical panels, elevator systems) has been updated, and when were those upgrades completed?
- 34 illegal parking complaints were the top 311 category in the area — is there on-site parking available for residents, and if so, what are the current costs and waitlist status?
- Check the hallways, elevator cabs, and stairwells on multiple floors for signs of deferred maintenance — water stains, peeling paint, or damaged fixtures in a 62-year-old building can signal infrastructure issues that HPD violations don't always capture.
- Inspect the unit's radiators or heating vents and ask to see them in operation; 23 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the past year suggests the system has had recent problems, and you want to confirm the specific unit's heat delivery is functional.
- Assess the noise environment from inside the unit at different exposures — open windows and listen for street noise, and ask which mechanical rooms or elevator shafts are adjacent to the unit, given the building's moderate residential noise complaint record.
