123 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003

The four-story, three-unit tenement building at 123 1st Avenue in the East Village, owned by Won Moon and built in 1900, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent years. Most notably, there were two heat/hot water complaints in December 2024 affecting the entire building, while a similar complaint emerged in November 2021.

The property is currently facing multiple active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports for the years 2018 through 2023, with the most recent violation dated September 23, 2024. Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections have generated several complaint numbers between 2023-2024, though some have resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings.

The building's health and safety record shows attention to food safety concerns, with multiple food establishment complaints between 2019 and 2024, including issues with rodent/insect presence and food contamination that were addressed through warning letters or administrative closures. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the last three monitoring periods from 2019 to 2024. While the heat/hot water issues and the failure to maintain proper inspection records are concerning, the active resolution of most service requests and the absence of systemic pest problems are notable features of the building's recent history.
