579 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10016
This five-story, 24-unit building at 579 3rd Avenue in Murray Hill, owned by Iris Stewart, has experienced several significant building maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns regarding rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in July 2024 finding conditions attracting rodents, requiring follow-up inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building underwent substantial inspection in June 2018, revealing multiple maintenance issues including floor repairs needed in common areas and unit 4D, baseboard replacements, door issues, ceiling repairs, and various other maintenance needs, though these violations were subsequently closed by July 2018.
The property has faced serious structural concerns, particularly highlighted during 2020 when multiple violations were documented regarding the building's brick walls and structural elements. This included violations for emergency work needed on a shared party wall, shoring requirements, and stability concerns, with some violations remaining classified as active or requiring correction. The building underwent multiple departmental inspections between 2020-2022 relating to construction safety compliance and failure to maintain requirements, with two partial vacate orders issued in 2020.
However, the building's bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 indicate no infestations or related issues during these years, and recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2025 have passed. The most recent permit activity shows approved construction-related work in late 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance and repairs are currently being addressed. The property's history suggests recurrent maintenance attention is required, particularly regarding structural elements and pest management, though many earlier violations have been closed through compliance actions.
