162 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10009
The 162 1st Avenue building, a 4-story, 7-unit Old Law Tenement constructed in 1900, has experienced recurring issues primarily related to heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints reported between 2022-2024 affecting the entire building. Notably, a cluster of maintenance concerns emerged in late 2022, including water leaks, mold, and garbage storage issues, though inspections generally found no violations.
The most recent complaints as of 2024 involve a damp spot and heat/hot water issues, with inspections showing no violations or confirming resolution. Recent building history shows some concerning patterns, including a period of multiple safety inspection violations in 2023-2024, and multiple open building violations regarding low-pressure inspection filings dating back to 2019. A tenant safety inspection in 2024 resulted in an Oath Violation Served.
The building underwent inspection issues related to plumbing maintenance and illegal conversion complaints in 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access. While the building has maintained positive rodent inspection results in 2022-2025, there were significant structural and safety violations noted between 2019-2020 regarding facade masonry and parapet stability, particularly at roof level, with multiple violations regarding certification corrections. However, recent inspections and maintenance records show no active infestations of bedbugs, with the most recent reports from 2024-2025 showing zero infested or re-infested units, and all rodent inspections since 2022 showing compliance or passing results.
