1 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
1 Fifth Avenue, a 27-story Class A residential building in Greenwich Village, was constructed in 1926 and contains 198 units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being a recurring pattern of indoor air quality problems during 2019 construction work, electrical wiring concerns in late 2024, and persistent rodent control efforts documented through numerous bait applications throughout 2024-2025.
The building has also faced challenges with compliance notifications, including failed tenant safety inspections in 2021 and multiple violations for not submitting required facade inspection reports (FISP). Notably, there was a serious elevator-related issue in 2021 when a single device was reported as not in service, leading to an OATH violation. The property has undergone various renovations and maintenance work over the years, with multiple work permits issued for electrical and plumbing work between 2020-2023.
During this period, there were multiple Department of Buildings violations related to facade maintenance and safety sign requirements, though many of these were subsequently resolved or dismissed. The building has maintained a relatively good record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the last four years, and only one instance of 184 units being treated in 2020. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the regular filing of bedbug reports and the resolution of most violations, though there continue to be ongoing concerns about rodent control as indicated by the numerous bait applications in 2024-2025.
