The 2025 rendition of the \u201cWorst Landlord Watchlist\u201d<\/a> in New York City was released on Wednesday by the Public Advocate\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Among the 100 landlords deemed the worst in the five boroughs by the number of housing violations given by the city\u2019s Department of Housing Preservation and Development\u00a0between December 2024 and November 2025, there were five with properties on the Upper West Side.<\/p>\n

In total, those five landlords own seven buildings in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach hazardous violation on the Worst Landlord Watchlist, each building in disrepair, each landlord putting profit over people, represents New Yorkers suffering in their homes,\u201d said Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams, in a news release.<\/p>\n

There was one Upper West Side landlord featured in the 2025 ranking who owns multiple buildings on the Upper West Side.<\/p>\n

Adam Jernow: 77th worst landlord in New York City for 2025<\/p>\n

15 West 75th Street (between Columbus and Central Park West): 191 violations
\n47 West 74th Street (between Columbus and Central Park West): 84 violations
\n122 West 71st Street (between Columbus and Amsterdam): 75 violations<\/p>\n

The 15 West 75th Street building has long been a troubled property, first appearing<\/a> on the Worst Landlord List in 2014. There is currently a violation for \u201cfailure to certify correction of a Class 1 Violation\u201d on the address, according to the New York City Department of Buildings\u2019 portal.<\/a><\/p>\n

A Class 1 Violation is the most severe of an \u201cImmediately Hazardous\u201d designation given out by the DOB, which requires immediate correction by the property\u2019s owner, or be served with a fine or stop work order.<\/p>\n

Complaints related to the property include the elevator not operating consistently and concerns about the building\u2019s foundation shifting, according to the DOB portal.<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are the four other landlords featured on the most recent Worst Landlord Watchlist with properties on the Upper West Side.<\/p>\n

David Deutsch: 42nd worst landlord in New York City for 2025<\/p>\n

250 West 72nd Street (between West End and Broadway): 67 violations on this building (641 violations across all buildings)<\/p>\n

David Manheimer: 71 worst landlord in New York City for 2025<\/p>\n

209 West 107th Street (between Broadway and Amsterdam): 45 violations on this building (546 violations across all buildings)<\/p>\n

Alex Kaskel: 88th worst landlord in New York City for 2025<\/p>\n

495 Amsterdam Avenue (near the corner of West 84th Street): 29 violations on this building (490 violations across all buildings)<\/p>\n

Chris DeAngelis: 95th worst landlord in New York City for 2025<\/p>\n

964 Amsterdam Avenue (between West 107th and 108th streets): 151 violations on this building (476 violations across all buildings)<\/p>\n
