442 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016
442 3rd Avenue is a New Law Tenement building located in Kips Bay, consisting of 33 units across 6 stories, built in 1920 and currently owned by Eric Nelson. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests in early 2025, including active complaints from February and March 2025 that remain open as of the latest reports. There were also plumbing issues reported in early 2025 and heating/hot water problems documented in October 2024, though these were marked as resolved.
The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 showing compliance. The building has had periodic food safety concerns, particularly during 2022-2025, with multiple food poisoning incidents reported to the DOHMH, though investigations have generally determined these to be isolated incidents. A notable structural concern was addressed in 2023, when a violation was recorded regarding an obstruction of the fire escape drop ladder.
Apartment 17 has been the focus of several violations from 2021, including issues with various maintenance items such as door fittings, bathroom finishes, and intercom systems, though many of these violations have since been closed. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 to the present shows no current infestations, with the most recent 2024 report indicating zero infested units. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in recent years, it is worth noting that many individual complaints have been addressed and closed through the HPD and DOHMH inspection processes.
