555 Main Street, Manhattan, NY 10044
Island House, a 400-unit, 3-story Class A residential building constructed in 1975 on Roosevelt Island, currently has several concerning open issues requiring attention. Most pressing are three active 2025 Health Department violations regarding smoking in prohibited areas, and persistent open HPD complaints from March 2025 concerning mold and wall conditions. The building has experienced notable incidents over recent years, including an open mold violation (filing date March 2025) and multiple exterior maintenance concerns, with an active Environmental Control Board violation (2024) related to bulging and cracked stucco on multiple elevations, which carries a $1,250 penalty.
Additionally, there are serious safety concerns with open Housing Maintenance Code violations in apartment S605 from January 2024 noting missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The property has a history of internal maintenance issues, including multiple violations related to doors, walls, and general sanitation. Notable past incidents include a fire-related violation in 2023 for apartment 103, and historical boiler-related violations from 2018 that have since been resolved.
The building's management has been somewhat responsive to inspections, with many complaints being closed through compliance, though several recent violations remain unresolved. Bedbug inspections indicate minimal infestations in recent years, with only one documented case in 2022-2023, and recent rodent inspections (2020 and 2021) passed. The building's proper maintenance of safety equipment is under scrutiny, with multiple open violations related to high-pressure inspection filing failures between 2018-2020, and recently issued permits for various repair work suggest ongoing maintenance activity.
