153 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
153 1st Avenue is a 5-story, 7-unit residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Jose Moran. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD in 2019, 2024, and most recently in January 2025. The building is currently under investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene regarding food establishment violations as of June 2025.
Significant construction activity occurred between 2020-2022, leading to multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to construction safety compliance, including inadequate fire extinguishers, improper scaffold installation, and failure to maintain proper pedestrian protection. These violations were generally resolved, though three active DOB violations from 2023-2024 remain regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections. Recent rodent inspections show consistent passing results, though there were instances of rat activity noted in early 2022.
The building has maintained a clean bedbug record, with zero reported infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2021-2025. Following construction work, several violations were issued regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021-2024, though these appear to have been resolved. The property's permit history shows multiple permits related to plumbing and exterior work issued between 2020-2022, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts.
