171 Avenue Of The Amer, Manhattan, NY 10013

171 Avenue of the Americas is a 5-story, 24-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by 171 Sixth Ave LLC. The building has experienced multiple recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to heat and plumbing systems, with several emergency heat/hot water and radiator complaints filed in December 2024, some of which remain open as of now.

Between 2022 and 2023, the property faced various maintenance challenges, including a water leak in August 2023, door/window issues in June 2023 (resulting in violations), and pest-related problems with rodent sightings reported in 2022. The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2019 to present, with zero reported infestations, and the property has passed several recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2025, though there were multiple bait applications required in late 2022. Significant recent events include multiple Department of Buildings complaints in late 2024, addressing various issues such as egress concerns, potential construction work without permits, and a violation related to rooftop occupancy (resulting in a $2,500 penalty).

Two open violations from 2021 remain unresolved as of now, concerning fire retardant material in public areas and required repainting of public hall walls. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, recent inspections, including rodent inspections in 2023 and 2025, have shown compliance with city regulations. The property maintains regular bedbug reporting compliance, consistently showing zero infested units across multiple reporting periods.
