170 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10009
The 5-story, 13-unit tenement building at 170 1st Avenue, owned by Moshe Khoshkheraman, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2022, with the most recent concerns emerging in late 2024. Currently, there are open housing maintenance complaints from November 2024 regarding electrical outlet issues and refrigerator problems.
A notable pattern of plumbing-related issues emerged in 2023-2024, including multiple violations related to water supply problems and sink maintenance. The building has faced several structural challenges, particularly during 2023 when violations were documented for deteriorated facades, including cracked stucco and masonry issues on multiple floors, resulting in Environmental Control Board violations with associated penalties. The building's maintenance history reveals a combination of resolved and ongoing issues, including a water leak, sink problems, and various electrical concerns documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints.
More serious safety concerns were noted in 2024, including an open violation regarding defective fire egress at Apartment 1 and a previously existing issue with flower pots obstructing fire escape egress from the 5th-floor balcony. The property has also been subject to multiple inspections and violations related to illegal hotel room use and construction work without proper permits, though these issues appear to have been resolved. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with all recent reports showing zero affected units, and recent rodent inspections have consistently passed, indicating improved pest management.
