441 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

The 4-story, 7-unit building at 441 3rd Avenue in Kips Bay, owned by Adam Parkoff, has a documented history of both pest management challenges and gas-related incidents over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring rodent issues, with multiple inspections between 2021 and 2025 showing rat activity, though recent inspections in March and May 2025 indicate improved conditions with only bait applied and compliance passing.

The building experienced a cooking gas-related incident in April 2024, which was classified as an emergency but ultimately closed with no violations found. The property has undergone several health department inspections related to food safety and sanitation, particularly between 2021 and 2023, with multiple complaints regarding rodents, insects, and garbage in food establishments being addressed and closed. A food poisoning incident was reported in 2020, though determined to be isolated.

An indoor air quality complaint was filed in 2019, warranting investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. On a positive note, the building's bedbug reports show consistent results of zero infestation from 2019 through the present, indicating effective management of this particular pest and no repeated infestations. The most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 reflects either successful remediation efforts or improved conditions, though it's worth noting this pattern of rat activity persisted as recently as early 2025.
