241 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

241 Fifth Avenue, a 20-story residential building completed in 2012 and containing 46 units, currently faces several noteworthy issues that impact resident safety and comfort. Most significantly, there are two active violations related to building maintenance that require attention: the building has not filed its FISP Cycle 9B technical report (as of February 2023) and there is an active ECB violation from June 2021 concerning the exterior walls/facade maintenance, specifically noting cracked glass panels at the main roof area.

The building's maintenance record shows some concerning patterns, including a water leak investigation that began in December 2020 and spanned several months in 2021, though no violations were ultimately issued. The property has experienced multiple complaints to the Department of Buildings over recent years, including reports of illegal plumbing work in 2022, and more recent complaints in 2024 regarding unauthorized after-hours work and issues with a sidewalk shed, though inspections did not result in any violations.

Despite these issues, one positive aspect of the building's record is its clean pest control history; the building has maintained a perfect record with no reported bedbug infestations since the requirement began, and recent annual reports from 2019-2024 show zero cases. The building's rodent inspection history is also positive, with all initial inspections from 2010-2017 passing without issues. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges since its construction, the absence of major health or safety violations in recent inspections suggests that the most pressing issues relate more to administrative compliance and exterior maintenance rather than fundamental structural or safety concerns.
