358 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

358 3rd Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit residential building located in Kips Bay, dating back to 1900 and currently owned by Dean Feldman. The building has experienced recurring water supply issues, with four complaints between late 2022 and early 2023, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations in most cases, except for one where conditions were verified as corrected.

A significant majority of the building's documented service requests (including those related to food establishments) during this period were either closed with no violations or marked as addressed, showing generally responsive management to reported issues. The building's maintenance history shows regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in April 2025 passing without issues, though there was one "Rat Activity" finding in June 2014 that required compliance follow-up. The property has undergone various inspections and service requests over the years, including multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) investigations related to food establishments in 2021, primarily concerning ventilation and odor issues, though these were all addressed.

There are two open violations of note: one from 2021 regarding street number visibility (Class A violation) and a 2019 elevator-related violation, though the latter was eventually dismissed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases across multiple annual inspections from 2018-2025, and rodent inspections have consistently passed except for the aforementioned 2014 incident. Recent investigations in 2024 regarding unauthorized unit conversions and ventilation/ exhaust issues found no violations, and both 2021 electrical permits issued have been properly recorded.
