421 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

The 3-story, 6-unit tenement building located at 421 3rd Avenue in Kips Bay, owned by Tony Legreta, has a mix of historical and recent maintenance records dating back to its 1910 construction. The building has shown some recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2022, with three separate complaints filed on September 21st regarding mold (classified as an emergency), ventilation systems (non-emergency), and wall paint/plaster issues (non-emergency). The mold problem received particular attention, requiring multiple follow-ups before confirmation of resolution in April 2023.

Earlier concerns included a 2019 indoor air quality issue related to chemical vapors, while more historical violations from 2002 involved fire safety requirements, including smoke detector notices and lighting requirements, which were certified as corrected in 2019. The building's infrastructure has undergone various inspections and repairs over the years, including a boiler issue in 2019 that resulted in an Oath Violation. A notable scaffold-related violation was recorded in August 2022, though this was resolved with no penalties imposed.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with the most recent annual reports (2022-2024) showing no infestations. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted, with the most recent in April 2025 showing passing results, continuing a pattern of compliance since at least 2010. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over time, most have been addressed through proper channels, and there have been no recent patterns of concerning violations.
