315 Avenue Of The Amer, Manhattan, NY 10014

Located at 315 Avenue of the Americas in the West Village, this four-unit, four-story tenement building was constructed in 1828 and is currently owned by Robert Kalimian. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in the first half of 2024, there were violations documented in Apartment 1 related to a water leak affecting the kitchen ceiling, with required repairs including the use of light-colored paint to address the issue. The building has faced recurring problems with basic services, including emergency heat and hot water complaints in early 2023, for which access to inspect the conditions was not granted.

The property has also dealt with structural concerns, particularly evident in late 2022 when complaints about building shaking and structural monitoring were filed. These concerns led to several open violations regarding the building's facade, including issues with the front veneer brick wall and roof cornice condition, which remain active as of October 2023. While the building has shown compliance in recent pest control inspections and has maintained regular bedbug reporting showing no infestations since 2020, there was a period of rodent activity noted in December 2021. Multiple service requests have been filed through NYC's 311 system, including issues such as slow leaks, mold, door problems, and unsanitary conditions, though many of these complaints were closed without violations being issued or due to lack of access for inspections.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing basic housing maintenance issues, though not always promptly or thoroughly, with some violations remaining unresolved for extended periods. Regular rodent inspections between 2013 and 2024 have mostly passed, with the exception of one rat activity report in December 2021. The property has also complied with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, showing no current infestations. The most pressing current issues appear to be the structural concerns and water-related violations in Apartment 1, which require ongoing attention.
