519 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016
The 5-story, 4-unit old law tenement building at 519 3rd Avenue in Murray Hill, built in 1920 and owned by Joseph Caram, has experienced several concerning issues over the past decade. Most notably, the building has an ongoing pattern of non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements to file annual bedbug reports, with similar violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, all of which remain open as of the latest data.
The building has also experienced rodent activity, with inspections in March 2020 showing rat activity and bait application, though a more recent inspection in March 2025 passed successfully. A plumbing-related complaint was filed in January 2025 regarding possible illegal/unauthorized work, but the inspector was unable to gain access during both final attempts in May 2025, resulting in no violations being recorded at that time.
Additionally, there was one structural stability complaint in March 2022 concerning building shaking or vibrating, which was investigated and found not to warrant any violations. The building's rodent inspection history shows generally good results, with multiple passed inspections between 2011 and 2018, suggesting that while there were periods of pest issues, they have generally been addressed promptly when detected.
