1374 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075

1374 3rd Avenue is a 4-story, 12-unit old law tenement building owned by Steven Bari, located in the Upper East Side and constructed in 1920. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns in 2025 being multiple open complaints regarding electric/gas range appliances and cooking gas systems that remain unresolved as of March 2025.

Between 2023 and 2024, the building faced significant challenges including heat and hot water problems, pest infestations (notably in Apartment 2W), and various code violations related to building maintenance. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) documented multiple instances of pest issues in January 2024, and violations related to self-closing doors and bathroom conditions were noted in 2023. The building's maintenance history shows persistent infrastructure concerns, including a 2022 violation for an unsafe sidewalk vault and roof issues, though these were resolved with financial penalties totaling $3,812.50.

Compliance inspections for bedbugs have consistently reported zero infestations since 2020, and recent rodent inspections in 2023 showed active management including bait application. The property has also faced administrative challenges, with violations issued in 2023 for failing to file required inspections, though these were ultimately dismissed. While some maintenance issues have been addressed through violations and penalties, the presence of multiple open complaints as of 2025 suggests ongoing building systems and maintenance challenges that require continued monitoring.
