57 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003

57 5th Avenue, located in Greenwich Village, is a 4-story, 6-unit building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Majid Kermanshah. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with multiple complaints filed in 2024-2025 indicating problems affecting the entire building. Most notably, there were three separate heat/hot water complaints in February 2025 alone, two of which resulted in closed cases due to duplicate reporting or lack of access for inspection.

The building previously faced several maintenance challenges between 2018-2019, including mold and water leak issues in apartment 3AB, which led to multiple violations. These violations, along with others related to window repairs, were eventually resolved or dismissed. The property has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past five years, showing zero infested units in its most recent filings from 2024-2025.

Regular rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2011, with the most recent inspection in July 2024 showing compliance. Noteworthy building concerns include a 2018 inspection that revealed vertical cracks from floor to ceiling in apartment 3A's private hall, and a 2024 complaint about work being performed without proper permits. While these issues were addressed or resolved, the recurring nature of the heat and hot water problems in recent months suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge within the building. The property was converted to Class A status and remains under this classification as of the latest data.
