160 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

160 Madison Avenue is a 42-story, 318-unit residential building located in Midtown Manhattan, completed in 2013 and currently owned by Michael Belgraier. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent problems emerging in May 2025 involving plumbing issues with sinks and toilets, which remain open as of July 2025. Historical maintenance concerns include a series of ventilation system problems in 2022 that resulted in multiple HPD complaints, and water leak issues in September 2022. The building has been subject to recurring issues with ventilations and indoor air quality between 2021-2022, with multiple Health Department investigations requiring owner notifications for corrections.

More significantly, there are current open violations related to the building's annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024. The building has also faced several Department of Buildings violations regarding its energy reporting requirements, with multiple missed benchmarking report submissions throughout 2023, though some have been dismissed. Historically, there were issues with completion and occupancy certifications, particularly in 2021, though these violations have been resolved. The property has undergone various construction-related work as evidenced by multiple permits issued in 2019, including electrical, plumbing, and alterative work permits.

In terms of building systems, there were initial rat activity concerns noted during the 2012 rodent inspections, but subsequent inspections indicated successful compliance. The building has experienced occasional complaints about unauthorized hotel room conversions, with the most recent investigation occurring in 2023. While the building's age (constructed in 2013) suggests modern systems, the recurring nature of ventilation and plumbing issues indicates ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained occupancy and generally complied with most regulatory requirements, though with some notable exceptions regarding energy reporting and bedbug documentation.
