969 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10022
The 5-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building at 969 1st Avenue, owned by Joseph Delvecchio, has undergone multiple inspections and service requests over the past few years, with some concerning patterns emerging. Most notably, in 2024-2025, there were several instances of residents reporting electrical outlet/switch issues, mold, and water leak problems, though HPD inspections were often unable to be completed.
In early 2025, there were also violations related to heat/hot water and other electrical issues. The building's fifth floor apartment (5N) has multiple open violations from 2023-2024, including concerns about door repairs and a leaky bathroom skylight, though some violations were previously closed.
A troubling pattern of rodent activity was noted between 2023-2025, with the building failing inspections in July 2023 and January 2025, though a compliance inspection in March 2025 passed. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations in the past four reporting periods from 2021-2024, and limited pest issues with other inspections showing corrections in 2024. While some violations have been addressed and closed, including a 2024 ventilation issue that resulted in no violations, the recurring pattern of electrical, water, and mold-related complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
