142 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10011
142 5th Avenue is a 10-story, 11-unit commercial building constructed in 1899, currently owned by Michal Rosenn. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being active violations regarding energy reporting, swarming conditions, and external low-pressure inspection. The Department of Buildings has documented multiple violations related to unauthorized work and insufficient sprinkler system maintenance between 2019-2021, though many of these have been resolved.
A notable pattern of safety inspections occurred in 2020-2021, including tenant safety evaluations and local law audits, with several inspections resulting in compliance. Recent service requests indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including a 2023 complaint about inadequate heating that was administratively closed after investigation. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent filings showing zero affected units.
Historical data reveals consistent rodent inspection compliance from 2010-2012. The property has undergone various permitted work projects between 2021-2022, though not all work appears to have been properly documented according to violation records. While many past violations have been resolved, the building currently has several active DOB violations from 2023-2024 requiring attention, particularly concerning energy reporting and maintenance compliance.
