443 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016
The 19-story, 70-unit residential building at 443 3rd Avenue in Kips Bay, owned by Hana Fink and constructed in 1980, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of heat and hot water complaints from 2023-2024, with multiple emergency complaints registered in November 2024 regarding the entire building's heating system, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.
The building has also faced persistent door-related issues in 2025, with three separate complaints about doors filed between April and May 2025, including at least one classified as emergency. A recent indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical vapors was filed and closed in June 2025. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past three reporting periods from 2019-2025.
However, there have been significant concerns about rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections in 2023 showing "Rat Activity" between March and August 2023, though most recent inspections in 2025 resulted in passing compliance. The building experienced some regulatory issues in 2024-2025, including a Partial Stop Work Order related to plumbing in July 2025 and an active Environmental Control Board violation from July 2024 regarding an unpermitted business sign. Several apartment-specific violations were documented in 2024, particularly affecting apartments 4C and 6A, involving issues such as insect infestations, plumbing problems, and the need for maintenance on fixtures and caulking.
