1335 Avenue Of The Amer, Manhattan, NY 10019

The 46-story building at 1335 Avenue of the Americas, owned by Sean Dellorto and constructed in 1963, has a history marked by recurring pest-related issues and maintenance concerns. Most recently, between 2023 and 2025, there have been multiple reports of unsanitary conditions and pest problems, with particularly notable complaints in 2024 and 2025 involving rodents, insects, and garbage issues in food establishments. The building currently has three open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements dating from 2022-2024.

Between 2019 and 2025, there have been several health department inspections and complaints, including a food poisoning incident in 2019, multiple pest-related complaints, and various investigations of food establishment conditions. The building's infrastructure and safety systems have also experienced challenges, including elevator issues in late 2022 which resulted in a violation notice, multiple tenant safety inspections in 2023 that found no violations, and a building shaking/vibrating complaint in early 2025 that was similarly dismissed. Earlier concerns included significant facade maintenance issues in 2018, when falling debris was reported, leading to fines and safety violations that required immediate remediation.

Both the Department of Buildings and HPD records show a relatively active pattern of repairs and maintenance work, with multiple permit issuances for emergency work between 2020 and 2022. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2010, with most showing compliance, though a "rat activity" notice was recorded in 2011. This report illustrates a building with ongoing pest management challenges, periodic infrastructural concerns, and a pattern of responsive maintenance activities, particularly in addressing violations and implementing repair work as needed.
