264 Avenue Of The Amer, Manhattan, NY 10014

264 Avenue of the Americas is a 6-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1903 and currently owned by Isaac Benishai. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent concern being an indoor air quality complaint related to construction dust in January 2023. In late 2020, multiple issues were documented simultaneously, including water leaks, mold, pest infestations, and problems with paint/plaster, particularly affecting Apartment 26 on the 5th floor.

This unit also had several violations requiring attention to safety systems, including carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, as well as issues with cabinet security and various wall and ceiling repairs, all of which have been subsequently closed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs since 2018, with zero reported infestations in the annual reports through 2024. Regular rodent inspections between 2011 and 2024 have consistently shown passing results, indicating effective pest management in this regard.

The property's violation history shows some building code issues, particularly in 2024 regarding self-closing doors at the main entrance and vestibule. An emergency cooking gas complaint from 2019 required attention, as did several housing maintenance code violations in 2020 and 2024. While most historical complaints have been resolved, the 2023 construction-related complaint had limited access for inspection. The building's management has generally responded to and resolved violations, though there have been periodic issues with maintaining safety devices and addressing water-related problems, particularly noted during 2020 inspections.
