472 Avenue Of The Amer, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 41-unit, 6-story building at 472 Avenue of the Americas in Greenwich Village has maintained a relatively stable record since its construction in 1956, with the current ownership under Sal Iuso. The property has shown consistent compliance with public health standards, as evidenced by ten consecutive passing rodent inspections from 2011 to 2024, and it has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past eight reporting periods from 2018 to 2025. However, there have been several notable issues regarding building maintenance and compliance with city regulations.

Most recent concerns include an active violation from June 2024 regarding an unpermitted illuminated business sign ("FLY E BIKE") with a $500 penalty, and historical violations related to exterior maintenance requirements. Between 2022-2024, violations were documented concerning the building's facade and appurtenances, including defective metal coping and facade damage, though many of these were resolved with penalties ranging from $0 to $2,500. The building also faced scrutiny in 2019 for electrical work performed without proper permits, though this violation was resolved with a penalty of $400.

Earlier complaints from 2019 included issues with illegal work on landmark building elements and exposure of defective electrical wiring, though inspections did not substantiate these claims. Two recent food establishment complaints in late 2024 were addressed by health authorities, but these appeared to be related to neighboring establishments rather than the residential building itself. The building's history suggests active management, with most violations being addressed and resolved, though several active violations regarding facade maintenance and reporting requirements remain pending as of the most recent records.
