431 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016
The 6-story, 52-unit residential building at 431 3rd Avenue in Kips Bay, owned by Adam Parkoff, has experienced ongoing maintenance and safety concerns since 2020. Most recently, in 2025, there are two open HPD complaints regarding elevator maintenance and radiator painting/plastering (March 2025). The building has a documented pattern of elevator issues, with multiple complaints about service interruptions occurring regularly between 2022 and 2025, including two such complaints in March 2025. Significant concerns include a December 2024 heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building, and a series of electrical-related issues throughout 2024 (including a 2024 electrical wiring complaint that required an oath violation).
The building has faced various safety-related issues requiring attention, particularly in Apartment 29, where multiple violations were documented in 2022-2024 regarding smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and window issues. Emergency violations were issued in early 2024 regarding self-closing doors on the 6th story (both a chute door and a fire door). The property has also experienced periodic problems with vermin, as evidenced by multiple rodent inspections in 2023-2024 showing rat activity and bait application. While there were reports of mold and pest issues in 2024, these were ultimately closed with no violations issued.
The building's elevator system has been particularly problematic, with multiple ECB violations relating to electrical work without a permit, inoperative devices, and critical system components requiring attention since 2020. Recent inspections have shown some improvements, with the building passing rodent inspections in March 2025. However, numerous open violations related to immediately hazardous conditions (Class 1) and various maintenance issues remain active as of 2023-2025. The property has consistently shown a pattern of needing to address basic maintenance and safety systems, with multiple instances requiring repeated inspections and follow-up work.
