43 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
43 5th Avenue, an 11-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1905 and owned by Sarah Cogan, has experienced persistent heat and hot water system issues from 2022 through 2025. The most recent cluster of complaints occurred in March 2025, with multiple heating system complaints filed and subsequently closed without access being granted to inspectors. Similar patterns of access denial have been recorded in previous heating system complaints throughout 2024 and 2022, though there were instances in 2024 and 2023 where tenants reported that heat and hot water issues had been resolved.
The building has maintained an active compliance record for bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019-2025 showing zero infested units, and has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2011 through 2024, with only two instances of rat activity noted in 2010. The building's maintenance history reveals several notable incidents. In 2019, there were documented safety issues regarding building walls and a window panel that fell onto the street, which resulted in two ECB violations totaling $3,750 in penalties.
A complaint regarding cooking gas made in December 2024 was closed after inspection attempts, and two Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections conducted in February 2025 resulted in no violations being warranted. The Department of Buildings has issued several permits for work at the property from 2019 through 2023, with the most recent being issued in July 2023. While the building has demonstrated generally good maintenance of common areas and systems through regular inspections, the recurring heating system issues suggest an ongoing challenge with this particular building system.
