379 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10010

The five-story, eight-unit tenement building at 379 1st Avenue in Gramercy, owned by Renan Sagam and constructed in 1910, has experienced recurring heating issues over the past two years that require attention. Most notably, there have been three separate complaints about inadequate heat affecting the entire building from 2024 to 2025, including two inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in June and September 2024, where inspectors were unable to gain access to units for evaluation.

The most recent heating complaint was filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) in April 2025 and has been closed, though inspection results may be requested through official channels. In terms of building conditions, a violation was recorded in September 2024 regarding broken ceramic wall tiles in the first-story vestibule, though this was subsequently certified as repaired in October 2024.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past six years, and has successfully passed multiple rodent inspections between 2010 and 2025, most recently in March 2025. A construction permit was issued in September 2019 for exterior work, though specific details of the work performed were not provided in the records.
