168 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10009
The five-story, four-unit tenement building at 168 1st Avenue, East Village, owned by Lanza Associates LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there were two heat and hot water emergencies reported in late 2021 affecting the entire building, with one violation specifically citing inadequate hot water supply to Apartment 5.
The building has also faced multiple inspections and violations related to boiler and low pressure inspection compliance, with four active violations issued in June 2023 for failure to file external low pressure inspections between 2018 and 2021. An Environmental Control Board violation from July 2021 outlined several boiler room deficiencies including ventilation and storage issues. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status, with no infestations reported in any of the annual filings from 2019 to 2025.
Moreover, the building has passed multiple rodent inspections conducted throughout 2022-2025, indicating effective pest management practices. Other noteworthy compliance issues include a December 2021 violation for failing to maintain proper building safety notices regarding gas leak procedures, which was subsequently resolved. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, the recent successful completion of multiple rodent inspections and the absence of bedbug infestations suggest improved pest management practices in recent years.
