480 Main Street, Manhattan, NY 10044

480 Main Street is a 21-story residential building located on Roosevelt Island, containing 266 units and constructed in 2014. The property, owned by Christopher Schmidt, has maintained a generally good record over its operating years, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five inspection periods from 2019 to 2024. The building passed its initial rodent inspection in August 2015.

However, there are several notable areas of concern worth mentioning. Most recently, in March 2025, there was a smoking violation reported in a smoke-free area, which was closed following a Department of Health inspection. The building is currently facing an active Department of Buildings violation from December 2023 regarding non-compliance with energy efficiency score display requirements. In 2019, multiple violations were issued related to elevator maintenance and inspection issues, though these were subsequently dismissed after penalty fees were paid.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020, two complaints were filed regarding potential violations of executive orders, but no violations were warranted upon inspection. The building has experienced some regulatory scrutiny regarding potential illegal hotel operations, with a complaint filed in August 2024 that was investigated but resulted in insufficient information being found. While the property has had various violations and complaints over the years, most have been resolved through proper channels, with only the most recent energy efficiency violation remaining active as of this report. It's worth noting that many historical violations (2019-2020) related to elevator issues were addressed, and the building has maintained a zero infestation count for bedbugs since 2021, indicating effective pest management practices.
