1061 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10022

1061 1st Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building located in Midtown and constructed in 1930, currently owned by Janet Giaimovitale. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns including a tenant safety inspection in April 2023 and a work without permit investigation in March 2023, though no violations were found in either case.

Between 2018-2019, multiple complaints were recorded, including a slow water leak and various unsanitary conditions such as pest infestations and mold, though most of these were listed as "closed" with no further documentation of resolution. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, with a significant complaint in October 2018 receiving immediate emergency response, though no violations were issued following the investigation. The property has undergone several repairs and maintenance improvements as evidenced by multiple permit issuances, including electrical and plumbing work in 2019, and an additional permit issued in 2021 for unspecified work.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with no reported cases between 2019 and 2024, and all rodent inspections from 2010 to present have resulted in "Passed" status, including the most recent inspection in January 2025. Housing Maintenance Code violations were primarily concentrated in 2017 for apartment 2B, relating to defects in plastered surfaces and paint in various rooms, though these violations were certified as corrected by December 2018. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, recent records suggest improved compliance with safety inspections and pest control measures, though the occasional pattern of water-related complaints warrants attention.
