105 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
The 5-story, 3-unit building at 105 1st Avenue in the East Village, owned by Lawrence Movtady and built in 1910, has shown a pattern of regular maintenance and compliance with most housing regulations. Recent rodent inspections from 2023 through mid-2025 indicate successful pest management, with only one instance of rat activity recorded in March 2024.
The building experienced multiple housing code violations in August 2018 related to safety and maintenance requirements, including issues with entrance door locks and missing required safety notices, though these were all addressed and certified as corrected by November 2018. Window and door frame issues were reported and inspected in July 2018 without violations being found. The property has had three documented 311 complaints since 2018: a rodent complaint in 2023 that resulted in a passed health inspection, a vaccine mandate non-compliance issue in 2021, and a series of door/window-related complaints in 2018.
The Department of Buildings conducted three inspections between 2019 and 2022 for various complaints (failure to maintain, work without permit, gas utility referral), all of which were closed with no violations found. Bedbug reports show no current or recurring infestations, with the most recent filings (2024-2025) indicating zero infested units. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with permits issued in 2018 for electrical and plumbing work, and consistent passing results in recent rodent inspections through 2025, indicating effective rodent control measures are being maintained.
