41 Avenue B, Manhattan, NY 10009

41 Avenue B, a 7-story, 23-unit Class A multiple dwelling built in 1999 and owned by Robert Ezrapour, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its recent history. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heating and hot water, as evidenced by service requests in November 2023 and previous complaints in 2022, though inspections were unable to confirm the 2023 issue due to lack of access.

The building has also faced safety equipment concerns, with a 2022 inspection revealing defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in apartment 7A, which were subsequently repaired, and violations related to an illegal electromagnetic locking device at the vestibule door, which were corrected. The elevator system has presented ongoing challenges, with a 2021 violation citing rust on hoistway cables, a dirty motor room, and a non-functional emergency phone, resulting in a $625 penalty.

Compliance issues included a 2023 violation for failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection, though this was dismissed. The building's management has maintained a proactive approach to pest control, as indicated by bedbug reports showing only one infested unit in 2021, and regular rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2019. While there have been various complaints regarding building conditions, inspections generally show these issues to be resolved, including recent complaints in June 2025 regarding work without a permit and sidewalk conditions, which were found to have no violations upon inspection.
