245 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10010
The 7-story, 18-unit tenement building at 245 3rd Avenue in Gramercy, owned by Danny Rahimzada and constructed in 1960, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past several years. Between 2022-2025, the building has faced recurring pest issues, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and rodents, most recently documented in December 2024, January 2024, and September 2023. A notable cluster of violations emerged in September 2023, particularly affecting Apartment 2B, related to plumbing, appliance, and window issues, including broken window frames, a defective electric/gas range, and mold problems in the bathroom.
The building's systems have undergone several inspections, with more recent rodent inspections in 2025 passing, though a rat activity report was filed in December 2023. Previously, between 2018-2021, the building faced multiple challenges, including safety concerns regarding the exterior facade and fire escape access, resulting in several Environmental Control Board violations. These included issues with A/C units blocking fire escape access and the removal of safety measures without proper approval.
More recently, in 2025, a complaint regarding work without permits was filed, though this was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. Throughout this period, the building has maintained zero bedbug infestation records in its annual reporting, and while there were various maintenance violations recorded, most have been resolved through subsequent inspections. The elevator system raised concerns in 2021 with a complaint about single device service but was found to have no violation at the time of inspection.
