49 Park Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016
The 5-story, 21-unit building at 49 Park Avenue in Murray Hill, owned by Mark Scharfman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns centering around water and mold problems. In 2024, multiple housing maintenance code complaints were filed regarding water leaks with heavy flow and mold issues, which resulted in violations being issued. Apartment 2A has been particularly affected, with violations documented in December 2024 related to pest infestation (specifically roaches), missing carbon monoxide detectors, defective air vents, and other maintenance issues, though some of these violations have since been certified as corrected.
The building has a history of rodent-related complaints, with both mouse sightings and conditions attracting rodents reported in 2020 and 2025, though a March 2025 inspection resulted in a passing grade. The property has also seen recurring plumbing and water supply issues, with emergency complaints filed in 2019. Additional historical context reveals various infrastructure and safety concerns, including multiple boiler-related complaints between 2021 and 2023, elevator issues in 2021, and problems with self-closing doors in 2024 that violated safety codes.
The building has undergone several inspections and faced various violations regarding construction work and maintenance, including problems with scaffolding and moldings in 2018-2019. Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations for several years, with zero cases reported in the past five filing periods (2019-2024). While many violations have been addressed and certified as corrected, there remains an active ECB violation from March 2023 regarding heating system access information signage, and one open violation from December 2024 related to self-closing doors in apartment 2A.
