45 Avenue B, Manhattan, NY 10009
The three-story Old Law Tenement building at 45 Avenue B, owned by Marcus Andrews and built in 1880, has experienced several concerning issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are open violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2023, along with ongoing bedbug reporting violations from 2021-2024. The building has undergone multiple inspections for rodent activity, with the most recent showing passed inspections in 2023 and 2024, though there were periods of rat activity confirmed in late 2022 and early 2023.
311 complaints in 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions and pests were closed due to lack of access for inspection. Earlier issues included several emergency heat and hot water complaints in December 2018, and multiple complaints in 2019 concerning illegal hotel rooms, unpermitted plumbing work, and building safety concerns, particularly regarding transient occupancy at apartment 45-2. The building has a history of violations related to boiler registration and safety requirements, and between 2019-2024, there have been numerous Department of Buildings complaints regarding various safety and maintenance issues, many of which were closed due to inability to gain access for inspection.
The property underwent multiple food establishment inspections between 2022-2024, primarily concerning rodent/insect issues and water/dishwashing concerns, with all being administratively closed after investigation. The building's maintenance history shows some positive recent developments, with inspection results in 2023-2025 showing passed rodent inspections, though there were periods of activity noted in late 2022 and early 2023. The property has been cited for multiple safety violations during its recent history, including issues with fire safety systems and means of egress during 2019 inspections, with fines imposed at that time. While many historical violations have been resolved, the building has ongoing requirements for bedbug reporting and low-pressure inspection filings that remain open as of 2024-2025.
