959 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10022
The 30-story, 112-unit building at 959 1st Avenue in Midtown, owned by Kern Mohammed and completed in 2008, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past three years, particularly concerning heat and water systems. Most notably, there have been multiple heat/hot water complaints in 2024-2025, with two emergency complaints in June 2025, one in January 2025 affecting the entire building, and several incidents in March 2024.
Additionally, water-related issues have emerged, including a heavy flow leak complaint in May 2024 and a damp spot leak in October 2021, though in both cases HPD was either unable to access the premises or found no violations during inspections. The building has also faced some construction safety incidents, as evidenced by three ECB violations in November 2024 related to scaffold and anchorage system issues, with one violation carrying a penalty of $3,125.
An active violation from January 2024 concerns the failure to file an acceptable amended Cycle 9A report regarding unsafe conditions. On a positive note, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2019, and the most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 resulted in a passing grade, continuing a pattern of successful pest management observed since 2017. The building's bedbug and rodent control records suggest effective monitoring and management of these specific issues, though the repeated heat and water system complaints indicate ongoing challenges with basic building infrastructure.
