956 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075

956 5th Avenue, located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, is a 15-story, 22-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Fifth 956 Corporation. The building has maintained a relatively clean record over recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years (2021-2025) and consistently passing rodent inspections, including eight successful inspections between 2010 and 2019.

The most significant recent issues involved administrative violations related to Energy Efficiency Reporting (EER) for the years 2021 and 2022, which were filed in April 2023 and 2024, though these violations were subsequently dismissed in April 2024. The building has had minimal complaints on record, with only two notable incidents in recent years - a gas utility referral in 2019 that was closed without any violations being found, and a street sweep complaint in 2023 that was also resolved without any violations.

Several permits were issued in 2019 for various work types, including warm air furnace repair, plumbing, and electrical work, suggesting that the building has undergone appropriate maintenance and upgrades as needed. Historically, the building has had multiple violations recorded between 2018-2019, but these were all dismissed based on subsequent inspections showing that the defects had been corrected. The consistent pattern of passing inspections and the absence of recurring pest issues indicate effective building management practices, while the recent dismissal of administrative violations suggests compliance with city regulations once the necessary reporting requirements were addressed.
