1031 Avenue Of The Amer, Manhattan, NY 10018

1031 Avenue of the Americas, also known as Bryant Park Tower, is a 44-story residential building constructed in 2004 containing 89 units, currently owned by Marc Kotler. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water maintenance, most recently reported in December 2023 when an entire building complaint was filed but inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

Prior heating system complaints have been recorded in 2018 and 2020, though they were reportedly resolved. The building has had multiple plumbing-related issues, with emergency complaints about toilets and sinks in 2020, and other plumbing concerns including a Department of Buildings violation for defective/ leaking/ poorly maintained systems in 2020. Recent mechanical infrastructure concerns have emerged, particularly regarding the elevator system, which received a violation in July 2024 with a $1,250 penalty for being out of service during inspection.

The building has shown good maintenance practice in terms of pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024), and passed rodent inspections from 2010-2014. Multiple environmental control board violations have been resolved, including issues with illegal signs and failure to submit required reports, though all were dismissed or resolved without penalties except for the recent elevator violation. The building's management has maintained regular permit filings for various maintenance and improvement works, with the most recent permits issued in 2020, suggesting ongoing attention to building maintenance requirements.
