225 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
The four-story, three-unit tenement building at 225 1st Avenue in the East Village, owned by Talung Chin and constructed in 1920, has had three significant Department of Buildings complaints in recent years, all of which have been resolved.
The most recent complaint, filed in December 2024 regarding an illegal or improper vent/exhaust installation, was investigated in January 2025 but resulted in no violations being found. Prior to this, there were two separate complaints in 2021 and 2023, both concerning work being conducted without the proper permits in an occupied multiple dwelling.
Notably, both of these complaints resulted in no findings of violations as the inspection personnel were unable to gain access to the property despite making multiple final attempts. While the building has experienced these issues over the past several years, it's worth noting that in each case where an inspection was conducted, either no violations were found or access could not be gained to verify the concerns.
