313 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003

The four-story, five-unit tenement building at 313 1st Avenue in Gramercy, built in 1910 and currently owned by Constantinos Kaimakliotis, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in February 2025, there was a heat and hot water emergency that was resolved when HPD inspectors verified the restoration of services. The building has had recurring rodent issues, with multiple complaints and inspections between 2022 and 2025, including documented rat activity in late 2022.

Health inspections in 2022 resulted in violations that required follow-up. The building's maintenance history reveals concerns about boiler safety, with active violations as of 2023 for failure to file inspection reports in 2017 and 2018, and an annual bedbug reporting violation from 2024, though records show no bedbug infestations have been reported in any dwelling units for several years (2018-2024). Historical records from 1989 indicate past safety concerns related to fire egress and smoke detectors in apartment 4F, though these issues were eventually resolved.

The property has consistently passed rodent inspections in previous years (2016-2018), suggesting that while there have been recent pest control challenges, the overall situation has fluctuated rather than showing consistent deterioration. The building's permit history includes at least one issued permit related to exterior work in 2019. While some recent service requests and violations point to ongoing maintenance challenges, the building has maintained basic habitability standards, with most violations being administrative rather than directly impacting resident safety or comfort.
