318 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10010

Located in Kips Bay, 318 3rd Avenue is a 4-story, class B building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Steven Hiller. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the last few years, particularly with its boiler systems. In both April and August of 2022, violations were recorded regarding defective boiler conditions, including problems with door mechanisms, low water cutoff pipes, and corroded components, specifically involving a Pacific Model #2200 oil-fired boiler.

These violations led to Environmental Control Board citations, though with no penalties imposed. The building's maintenance history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, with no reported infestations during these periods. Additionally, the property has maintained a clean record in recent rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing without issues.

The building's history includes some other notable events, such as a 2018 violation for unpermitted work involving a storefront sign and awning installation, for which a $250 penalty was imposed and remains active as of October 2023. Earlier complaints in 2019 regarding permits and in 2018 concerning an illegal storefront sign were investigated but resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. Two bedbug-related violations were recorded in 2021 and 2022 regarding late filing of annual reports, though these appear to have been resolved since the building has consistently filed reports showing no infestations in subsequent years. Despite the boiler-related issues in 2022, the building's overall maintenance record shows no major safety concerns since the resolution of those violations, and its recent rodent inspection results demonstrate effective pest control measures.
