965 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075

965 Fifth Avenue is a 19-story, 47-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1937 and currently owned by Nancy Zises. The building has undergone regular municipal inspections and compliance checks, most recently receiving a Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection in September 2023, which was completed with no enforcement action required.

However, there are notable concerns regarding the building's exterior maintenance, as evidenced by a 2024 Environmental Control Board violation related to cracked/shifted brick masonry on the east elevation at approximately the 10th floor. The building has experienced recurring issues with energy efficiency reporting, receiving violations in 2024 for failing to file a benchmarking report and in 2021 for not displaying the required energy efficiency score and grade, though both violations were ultimately dismissed or resolved. The building's maintenance history shows a generally proactive approach to inspections and corrections, with multiple weatherproofing permits issued between 2020-2023.

Bedbug reports from 2018 through 2024 indicate no infestations have been reported in any of the apartment units during this period, suggesting effective pest management practices. While there were some rodent activity issues noted between 2016-2018, particularly in mid-2018, subsequent inspections from 2019 through 2022 passed without any noted problems. The building maintains an active record of addressing regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the prompt resolution of various violations and the submission of required documentation when cited.
