233 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
The 16-story, 189-unit building at 233 3rd Avenue in Gramercy, currently owned by Melissa Cafiero, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. Most concerning is an unresolved construction lead dust complaint from February 2024, which remains in progress as of this report. The building suffered two separate heat and hot water emergencies in October 2023, though inspectors were unable to access units to verify conditions.
Throughout 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding indoor air quality and construction dust, with several cases reported between May and August. The building has also faced multiple construction-related violations, particularly during 2023 and 2025, including issues with scaffolding compliance, debris management, and construction safety. These violations, primarily associated with Prat Enterprises Corp, have generally been resolved or dismissed through inspection processes.
Additional historical data reveals recurring maintenance issues, including three heat/hot water emergencies in 2018, several housing maintenance code violations in 2018 related to safety signage and door functionality, and a rodent sighting in 2020 that was investigated but resulted in no violations. The building's elevator system has been the subject of multiple complaints in recent years, though inspections in 2024 and 2025 found no violations. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with only two reported cases between 2018-2020, both of which were eradicated. Regular rodent inspections since 2010 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management.
