962 5th Avenue is a 15-story, 77-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Alex Birmelin and located in New York City's Upper East Side neighborhood. The building has undergone several construction projects in recent years, with multiple permits issued between 2021 and 2024 for equipment and exterior work, including significant activity in 2022-2023 that resulted in several safety-related incidents and violations.
Most notably, there was a worker injury incident in July 2023 involving unapproved hoist use and subsequent placement of scaffolding, leading to Environmental Control Board violations totaling $6,250 in penalties. The Department of Buildings issued multiple construction-related complaints in 2023, including one in November 2023 regarding the failure to certify corrections for an immediately hazardous violation. The building has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with consistent bedbug reporting showing zero infestations from 2019 through 2024, and passed rodent inspections in 2016-2022, though there was one report of rat activity in 2018.
Several administrative violations have been resolved, including issues with displaying energy efficiency grades and submitting required reports, with most recent violations related to construction safety compliance. The property's violation history shows a pattern of construction-related safety issues between 2021-2023, including stop work orders that were eventually rescinded. Despite these challenges, the building has demonstrated compliance with most regulatory requirements, including timely resolution of most violations and regular submission of required pest control reports.
