1028 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

The 4-story, 9-unit apartment building at 1028 3rd Avenue on the Upper East Side, owned by Maria Velissaris and built in 1926, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most concerning is the pattern of violations related to external low pressure inspection filing requirements, with multiple active violations issued between 2023-2024 for failure to submit necessary documentation covering the years 2018-2023.

The building has also faced challenges with its intercom system, with a general complaint filed in October 2023 that was inspected and closed with no violations found. The property has maintained a relatively good record regarding pest control, with the recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) showing zero infested units, and rodent inspections consistently passing since 2011, including the most recent inspection in September 2024. Two isolated food poisoning incidents were reported in 2021-2022, though investigations found no violations, and the building's health department inspections generally show compliance with requirements.

A significant safety-related issue occurred in 2018 when a locked/block egress was reported, resulting in a violation for failing to maintain proper corridor width, though this was resolved with a penalty of $625. While the building has demonstrated ongoing commitment to addressing various maintenance issues, the pattern of violations related to low pressure inspection filings suggests an area requiring closer attention to compliance protocols. The consistent passing of rodent inspections and the absence of bedbug infestations over multiple reporting periods are positive indicators of the building's overall maintenance.
