1009 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10022

The 4-story, 2-family house at 1009 3rd Avenue, owned by Nick Tsoulos, has experienced several significant issues over the past two years. Most notably, the building has multiple active violations with the Department of Buildings related to failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2023.

There have been consistent rodent control measures implemented throughout 2023-2024, with multiple bait applications recorded between December 2023 and June 2024, suggesting an ongoing pest control challenge. The building has also experienced plumbing issues, with a water supply complaint filed in August 2024, though no violations were issued following the HPD inspection. The property has a troubling history of food establishment-related complaints, particularly between 2021-2024, including issues with rodents, insects, garbage, and food contamination.

While most of these cases were administratively closed and did not result in violations, they indicate potential sanitation concerns. Additionally, there were multiple Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations issued in October 2022 regarding illegal commercial use of the property, including unlicensed physical treatment establishment and unauthorized occupancy changes, though only one of these violations appears to have resulted in a financial penalty. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspections and bait applications for rodent control, with the most recent inspections in March 2024, though it has consistently received violations for not completing required external inspections during this period.
