845 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

845 5th Avenue is a 12-story, 16-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Chase Coleman. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with the most significant being an environmental violation in 2020 for failing to maintain exterior building walls, specifically noting spalling coping on the parapet/cornice at the southwest end.

This violation, along with another from 2018 related to failure to submit a required building report, while resolved, demonstrates some previous neglect of building maintenance requirements. The property has also faced multiple fines for failing to file required reports, including a 2024 penalty for not submitting a benchmarking report of energy use, though this violation was dismissed following confirmation of submission. More recent activity shows the building undergoing regular maintenance, with several work permits issued in 2022-2024, including multiple exterior work permits in late 2023 and late 2024.

The building's health records show a consistently clean bill of health regarding pests, with no reported bedbug infestations or rodent issues since 2019, maintaining a perfect compliance record in these inspections. However, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from December 2018 related to a fire incident, with no disposition noted in the available records. While the building has had its share of regulatory challenges, recent records suggest improved compliance with maintenance and reporting requirements, though the age of the building and history of violations indicate ongoing monitoring of maintenance practices would be prudent.
