546 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

The four-story tenement building at 546 3rd Avenue in Murray Hill, owned by Susan Sanders, has exhibited several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, in early 2024, there were multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints filed by tenants, though inspections were either unable to gain access or determined the complaints were duplicates of existing issues. The building has also faced administrative challenges, including three separate Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021-2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these were ultimately closed.

More recently, in 2025, there was a Department of Health inspection related to a food establishment, and the building passed a rodent inspection in March 2025. Historical data shows some concerns with building stability, with a complaint about building shaking in 2021, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The property has maintained a generally good record of pest management, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past four reporting periods (2021-2024).

Rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2025 consistently resulted in passing grades. The building's history includes a vaccine mandate non-compliance complaint in 2021, and a 2024 complaint regarding work without proper permits, though this was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. While there have been periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, the property has demonstrated compliance with most health and safety regulations, as evidenced by its regular passing of rodent inspections and the absence of recent bedbug infestations.
