245 Park Avenue South, Manhattan, NY 10003
245 Park Avenue South is a 55-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1940 and currently owned by Richard Cohen. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most pressing concerns being recent rodent and sanitation problems as evidenced by multiple complaints to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) from 2022 through 2025.
A complaint filed in June 2025 regarding rodents/insects/garbage is currently in progress, following a pattern of similar complaints throughout 2024 and 2023. Heat and hot water systems have also been a recurring concern, with an emergency complaint in March 2023 regarding the entire building's lack of heat/hot water being reported and subsequently addressed. The building's infrastructure received attention in 2025 when an elevator issue was investigated but found to have no violations, while previous inspections in 2019-2021 confirmed various systems as compliant, including a resolution to a building stability concern from 2019.
The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports since 2019 showing zero affected units. Regular rodent inspections conducted between 2010-2018 consistently passed, suggesting temporary sanitation challenges rather than an ongoing infestation problem. While there have been several safety inspections and complaints about various building systems, including a 2020 mold complaint and illegal hotel room concerns in 2018, most issues have been resolved promptly according to official records.
