357 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10010

At 357 1st Avenue in Gramercy, this 30-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1910 currently shows several maintenance issues requiring attention, including multiple open complaints filed in March 2025 regarding problems with walls, ceilings, and floors. The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over the past few years, with significant complaints in 2024 including unaddressed safety concerns about carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, ventilation issues, and various problems with cabinets, walls, and ceilings, though many of these previous complaints have been closed following inspections.

The property has documented housing maintenance violations from 2021-2024, including issues with window functionality and kitchen cabinets in Apartment 7 in 2023, though all these violations have since been closed. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug monitoring since 2019, with no reported infestations in the last four reporting periods up to May 2025, and has passed multiple rodent inspections, most recently in May 2025.

However, there are two active Department of Buildings violations from 2019 regarding failure to file energy benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency information. While the property has generally complied with rodent control measures, there was one instance of rat activity recorded in February 2024. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with timely repairs and inspections, as evidenced by several instances where inspectors were unable to complete their assessments or the reported conditions remained unresolved, particularly in 2024-2025.
