554 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

554 3rd Avenue is a 31-story, 9-unit residential building located in Murray Hill, constructed in 2002 and currently owned by Mitchel Maidman. The building has shown consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all required checks from 2010 through 2025. Recent records indicate proper maintenance of bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings from 2025 showing no infestations reported during the previous year.

The building has experienced several construction-related issues, with the most recent being a partial stop work order issued in May 2025 regarding construction safety compliance. In 2019, multiple violations were recorded for unauthorized work in the ground-level commercial space, though these were resolved through proper permitting and payment of fines totaling $2,875. The property has faced some administrative challenges related to required reporting, including a bedbug report violation in 2021 and penalties for failing to submit a Cycle 8C exterior wall inspection report in 2020, for which a $3,125 fine was imposed.

These violations have since been resolved. Building permits have been regularly issued and recorded between 2018 and 2023, showing ongoing maintenance and improvement work. Notably, several Department of Buildings violations from 2019-2021 were dismissed based on subsequent inspections showing correction of the cited defects. The building has maintained good general safety standards, with all rodent inspections passing and no active pest management issues reported in recent years.
