59 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
59 5th Avenue is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building in Greenwich Village, constructed in 1938 and currently owned by Hamid Kermanshah. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints regarding building-wide systems between late 2018 and 2019, and more recently in March 2024. Most concerning is the current situation as of April 2025, with two open complaints regarding door issues that remain unresolved despite HPD notification to the property owner.
The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2010 through 2024, indicating effective pest management. Recent violations and compliance issues are notable, particularly the active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021-2024 involving penalties of $1,250 each for failure to file required certificates of correction, and a violation regarding AC unit maintenance and exit passageway obstruction. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2021-2024, consistently reporting zero infested units.
There are recent complaints from 2023-2024 related to food establishments, though these appear to be for locations other than the residential building. The Department of Buildings has active violations from 2019-2020, and a work without permit complaint was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs in December 2024. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, it has generally demonstrated compliance with health and safety requirements, passing all rodent inspections and maintaining regular bedbug reporting compliance.
