550 Park Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

550 Park Avenue is an 18-story, 35-unit residential building constructed in 1917, currently owned by Carole White. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and construction projects in recent years, with the most notable activity occurring in 2021 when multiple construction safety violations were documented, resulting in three stop work orders and several Environmental Control Board penalties totaling $17,500.

These violations, which were subsequently resolved, involved issues with suspended scaffolding, parapet clamps, and compliance with approved construction documents. The building has maintained a good record in terms of pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years (2018-2024) and consistent passing results on rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019. Recent regulatory activity includes a violation for failing to display energy efficiency scores in 2025, though this was subsequently dismissed, and a 2020 violation regarding failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous violations.

The building has received multiple permits for various maintenance and repair work, with the most recent permits issued in 2021 related to exterior work. Historical violations from 2019-2020 noted issues with the building's exterior maintenance, including problems with window frames, broken window panes, and an obstructed fire escape, all of which were resolved. The property has demonstrated regular compliance with mandatory inspections and certifications, including those for energy efficiency, and has shown systematic correction of most cited violations, though some complexity remains in the resolution history of certain fines and penalties.
