428 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

428 3rd Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building located in Kips Bay, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Milagros Paris-merchant. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, particularly related to its exterior and mechanical systems. Most notably, in 2022 and 2023, there were multiple violations regarding food safety, including complaints about contamination and rodent/insect issues in food establishments, though all these complaints were eventually closed.

The property has also faced structural concerns, with an active violation from 2022 requiring the installation of approximately 30 linear feet of sidewalk shed to protect public safety near commercial entrances, and past issues with facade maintenance including cracks and missing concrete noted in 2018, which resulted in a $620 penalty. The building has had three consecutive years (2021-2023) with violations related to failed bedbug report filings, though recent documentation shows no bedbug infestations reported in the 2023-2024 filing period. There have been multiple violations regarding the boiler systems, including defects, non-compliance with code requirements, and problems with various components that resulted in penalties.

However, the property has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2010, indicating effective pest management in this regard. The most recent inspection in April 2025 also passed, suggesting improved maintenance standards. While some historical issues remain active or unresolved, particularly regarding certain building code violations, the closure of multiple complaints and recent passing inspection results indicate ongoing management efforts to address building maintenance challenges.
