1270 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021
1270 3rd Avenue is a 20-story, 116-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1958 and currently owned by Christopher Alker. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with the most recent complaint in November 2024 and several similar complaints between 2020 and 2023 where housing inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate the reported problems.
Water-related issues have also been problematic, with multiple complaints about leaks and dampness in 2020 resulting in violations, while recent rodent inspections in 2024 have documented ongoing rat activity around the property, though previous years showed compliance. The building has undergone recent facade work as evidenced by multiple construction-related complaints and violations in 2024, including safety violations related to scaffolding and debris containment, though these were generally resolved promptly. Current open violations from 2023 require the installation of proper inspection certificate frames and building registration signs on the first story.
Historical records show consistent bedbug-free reporting since 2018, and the building has maintained regular inspections with no recent major safety violations recorded through tenant safety inspections. The property has had some plumbing and electrical issues documented through 311 calls, though many complaints were closed without violations being issued upon inspection. The building's violation history shows a pattern of maintenance issues primarily related to basic services like heating, water systems, and occasional structural concerns, typical for a mid-20th-century residential building in New York City.
