149 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
The 24-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 149 1st Avenue in the East Village, owned by Victoria Hyman, has shown persistent challenges with pest control, particularly regarding rodent issues. From 2023 to 2024, the property experienced multiple documented rodent sightings and conditions attracting rodents, with official inspections showing some violations.
More recently, in July 2024, there was a complaint about unsanitary conditions related to pests, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 through 2024 shows consistent compliance with reporting requirements, listing zero infested units during these periods. The Department of Buildings has documented several significant violations and complaints in recent years, including an active violation from October 2023 regarding the boiler room ceiling condition.
Historical records show multiple tenant safety inspections in 2021 that resulted in stop work orders, though these were ultimately rescinded. There were also several construction-related violations in 2018-2019 regarding inadequate tenant protection plans and failure to post required notices during renovation work, all of which have been resolved. More recent inspections in 2023-2025 have generally shown compliance with rodent control requirements, though the building's recent pest complaints suggest ongoing monitoring may be necessary.
