945 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021
945 Fifth Avenue is a 19-story, 107-unit residential building constructed in 1949, currently owned by Eric Rudin. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with four documented complaints between May 2024 and November 2024, three of which affected individual apartments and one impacting the entire building. All these incidents were classified as emergencies, though most were resolved promptly, often with confirmation of restored service during HPD inspections.
The building has maintained an active compliance record with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations reported from 2021 through 2024, and has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2016 and 2019, with only two instances of rat activity noted between 2011 and 2017. Significant historical issues include several building violations from 2019 related to unauthorized construction work at the penthouse level, which involved partial gut rehabilitation, wall and ceiling demolition, and plumbing work without proper permits. These violations carried penalties totaling $3,750 but were ultimately resolved.
More recent building complaints include a 2024 violation regarding improperly installed A/C units on the 9th floor along East 76th Street, though this was resolved with no penalties imposed. The building has undergone regular maintenance and upgrades, as evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2022 for plumbing and electrical work. Six consecutive bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024 show zero infestation incidents, indicating effective pest management practices. While there have been various building complaints over the years, most have been promptly addressed, and regular inspections suggest generally good overall building maintenance.
