279 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
The 5-story, 4-unit residential building at 279 First Avenue in Gramercy, constructed in 1950, has been consistently compliant with rodent inspections, passing all eight evaluations conducted since 2010, with the most recent in January 2025 showing no issues.
However, the building has a concerning pattern of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations noted in four consecutive years from 2021 through 2024, with the most recent being in April 2024.
Each of these violations pertains to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report in accordance with HPD rules. While the building's rodent control record is exemplary and suggests proactive management in that area, the repeated violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements over multiple years indicate an ongoing compliance issue in this particular aspect of building maintenance.
