515 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016

515 3rd Avenue, a 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in Murray Hill and owned by Andreas Papadopoulos, has experienced several significant incidents over the past three years that warrant attention. Most notably, there were three food poisoning complaints reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene between April 2023 and April 2024, though all were deemed isolated incidents, with normal scheduling for sanitary inspections continuing. The building underwent multiple inspections in May 2019 for various issues including pests, mold, an electric/gas range problem, and ventilation system concerns, though no violations were issued in these cases.

Recent rodent inspections show a generally positive trend, with the building passing inspections in March 2025 and October 2022, following a report of rat activity in August 2022. The property has maintained a clean bill of health regarding bedbugs over the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, with no reported infestations or eradications. The building's history includes regular compliance with rodent inspections, having passed eight consecutive initial inspections from 2010 to 2025, with only one instance of rat activity recorded in 2022.

A building permit for unspecified work was issued in July 2020. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, most have been promptly addressed and resolved, with the 2019 incidents being the only significant cluster of complaints. The most recent inspection results and the consistent absence of bedbug issues suggest improved overall maintenance in recent years, though the pattern of food poisoning complaints between 2023 and 2024 indicates some ongoing food safety concerns in the building's commercial spaces.
