151A 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
151A 1st Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's East Village, owned by Leonard Rubenstein and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced recurring administrative challenges with its bedbug reporting requirements, receiving three consecutive violations from 2021 to 2023 for failing to file the annual bedbug report as mandated by HPD regulations.
While these violations were formally closed, they indicate a pattern of non-compliance with housing maintenance code requirements. More recently, an active violation from September 2024 has been issued concerning the failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection, though a previous violation from June 2023 related to the same issue was dismissed. On a positive note, the building has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2020 through 2025, including six initial inspections and one compliance inspection.
Additionally, the most recent bedbug reports filed in 2024 and 2025 indicate no infestations, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units reported for the periods covering Fall 2023 through Fall 2024 and Fall 2022 through Fall 2023. A complaint regarding an illegal/improper vent/exhaust issue was filed in September 2021, but this was investigated in October 2021 and resulted in no violations being warranted. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of compliance with some requirements while falling short in others, particularly regarding the timely filing of required inspections and reports.
