382 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

The 15-story, 36-unit residential building at 382 3rd Avenue in Kips Bay, owned by Alexander Berley, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most concerning are the recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with annual Notices of Violation issued from 2021 to 2024 for failure to file required annual bedbug reports, though the building's recent 2024 filings show zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

The building has also faced some serious safety concerns in the past, particularly in 2019 when multiple violations were recorded regarding illegally converted SRO/furnished rooms at apartment 7C on the 7th floor, including issues with means of egress, fire alarm systems, and lack of sprinklers - all of which were subsequently resolved with imposed penalties. More recent violations include active concerns regarding the FISP Cycle 9C technical report (2024) and a past failure to submit the required benchmarking report (2019). The property has maintained good sanitation standards in recent years, as evidenced by passing rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025, with the exception of a failed inspection in 2013 and verified rat activity noted in 2013.

Health and safety enforcement actions have been generally responsive, with several violations being properly addressed and closed. The building's history shows consistent attention to regulatory requirements, though there have been periodic lapses requiring correction, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance. Both the Department of Health and the Department of Buildings have been involved in monitoring and addressing various issues at the property, indicating ongoing regulatory oversight of the building's maintenance and safety standards.
