880 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021
880 Fifth Avenue is a 21-story, 162-unit residential building constructed in 1948, currently owned by Michael Basile. The building has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably a series of construction-related issues in 2024 that resulted in multiple violations and stop work orders. These violations primarily concerned construction safety compliance, with issues related to scaffolding installation and safety management.
An illegal conversion violation was also recorded in late 2024 regarding the unauthorized use of "maids rooms" as storage for Class A dwelling units, with an associated penalty of $1,280. The building currently has an active violation for failing to display its energy efficiency score and grade as required by city regulations, and there is an outstanding FISP Cycle 9A report violation from 2022. Despite these recent issues, 880 Fifth Avenue has maintained a good history regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2019 and consistently passing rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019.
The building management has been responsive to 311 service requests, though most recent complaints have been related to exterior work and safety compliance. Multiple permits have been issued in 2024 for various construction and maintenance work, suggesting ongoing building improvements. Historical compliance inspections conducted between 2021-2024 generally resulted in no violations being found, though several tenant safety inspections were performed during this period. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspections and prompt addressing of reported issues, with most violations being resolved through compliance and payment of fines.
