385 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016
The 18-story, 49-unit residential building at 385 3rd Avenue in Kips Bay, owned by David Greenfield and completed in 2006, has experienced recurrent heat and hot water system issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed by residents and inspections conducted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Specifically, there were nine heat/hot water-related complaints between November 2023 and March 2025, with some complaints indicating problems in the entire building and others in individual apartments.
The building also faced plumbing challenges in December 2024, with complaints regarding toilets and sinks. Two air quality complaints related to chemical vapors/odors were investigated by the Department of Health in late 2023 and early 2024, leading to an advisory to the property management. The building has some notable safety-related and maintenance issues, including several Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding self-closing doors in stairwells at the 11th story (both east and west stairs) and the 1st story vestibule, documented in July 2023, with these violations later being closed.
The property has also experienced bedbug infestations in recent years, with units reporting infestations in 2022 (one unit), 2023 (one unit), and 2024 (two units), though all were reportedly eradicated. An active Department of Buildings violation from December 2024 remains regarding failure to display energy efficiency score and grade, while prior violations from 2019 related to benchmarking and energy reporting were dismissed. A rodent inspection conducted in April 2025 passed, adding to a generally favorable history of pest control compliance, with all previous rodent inspections (2010-2019) also passing, except for one indicating rat activity in 2017.
