451 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016
The property at 451 3rd Avenue in Kips Bay is a 4-story, 13-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Leonard Elman. The building has experienced multiple food service-related issues over recent years, with the most recent being a milk pasteurization complaint in September 2024.
Between 2019 and 2024, there were several complaints and violations related to food establishments, including rodent/insect concerns and multiple violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though the bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate no infestations. The Department of Buildings (DOB) records from 2022-2024 show several complaints regarding unauthorized work in occupied multiple dwellings, with some resulting in Oath Violations, though most were ultimately found to have no warrant for violation upon inspection. Notably, there is an active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation from May 2024 regarding an unpermitted illuminated sign installation for "Slice 'n Spice" with a penalty of $6,250.
The building has maintained relatively good rodent control, with compliance passed in April 2025 following a "Rat Activity" finding in February 2025. Historical records from 2011-2025 indicate consistent compliance with rodent inspections, with only one "Rat Activity" finding recorded. The property has had various maintenance issues documented between 2019-2020, particularly related to exterior building maintenance and signage conditions, though these violations appear to have been resolved.
