337 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
The four-story, six-unit building at 337 1st Avenue in Gramercy, owned by Jack Soleimani, has a mixed record of building maintenance and safety compliance since its construction in 1910. Most concerning are two recent open complaints from December 2024 regarding paint/plaster issues in ceilings and slow water leaks, both of which remain unresolved as of July 2025.
The building has experienced recurring pest control issues, particularly in 2022-2024, with four separate unsanitary condition complaints related to pests, though no violations were issued in the most recent cases. Three significant violations from July 2024 stand out regarding Apartment 5's missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, along with a defective bulkhead door to the roof, though these violations still appear open. The property's mechanical systems have a problematic history, particularly regarding the boiler/heat system, with multiple past violations including a 2022 violation for an inoperative Dunkirk boiler and various safety issues with the flue system.
There is currently an active violation from September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 External Low-Pressure Inspection. The building has consistently filed annual bedbug reports showing no infestations from 2020 to 2023, and recent rodent inspections (most recently in May 2025) have all passed, indicating improved pest management in recent years. While the building's recent history shows some improvements in pest control (with no new complaints since 2024) and regular rodent inspection compliance, the ongoing water leak and ceiling issues, along with the open safety violations, suggest that some maintenance challenges persist.
