1 Rutherford Place, Manhattan, NY 10003

1 Rutherford Place, a 5-story, 10-unit residential building in Gramercy, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in late 2024, there were multiple serious incidents involving the building's gas systems, including unauthorized gas line modifications and unsafe valve replacements, resulting in a $10,625 penalty from the Environmental Control Board, though most of this was subsequently resolved. The building has faced recurring boiler system problems, with violations documented in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, including issues with flue pipe sealing and water feed lines.

Two separate complaints about building vibrations/structural stability were filed in 2021 and 2024, with the 2024 incident resulting in a stop work order. The property has maintained an excellent record regarding pests and rodents, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past eight years and passing all rodent inspections since 2010. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues requiring regulatory intervention, particularly related to the boiler system and gas infrastructure.

Recent developments suggest ongoing concerns about building systems and safety compliance, particularly regarding gas line modifications and boiler maintenance. While the property has a clean record regarding pests and rodents, the recent safety violations indicate areas requiring close monitoring moving forward. The building's ownership structure is currently registered to Divya Rashad.
