1071 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

The 20-story, 131-unit building at 1071 3rd Avenue in the Upper East Side, owned by Martin Frauwirth and constructed in 1963, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is a 2023 incident involving indoor air quality complaints regarding chemical vapors, for which the management received an advisory. The building's parking garage has been a focus of multiple violations in 2023, including overcapacity concerns (with 109 cars observed when the certificate of occupancy allowed for fewer), disrepair of vehicle access ramps, and obstructed exit stairwell access.

While these violations were ultimately resolved, they raise questions about ongoing maintenance standards. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with zero reported cases in the past eight years, and has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2012. The building's regulatory history shows regular inspections and compliance efforts, though there are some outstanding concerns, such as an active violation for failing to file the FISP Cycle 9B technical report by the February 2023 deadline.

The property has undergone various permitted work between 2019-2021, including multiple elevator-related projects. Several complaints have been investigated over the years, including a 2019 food poisoning incident with no documented resolution, and inspections in 2023 related to tenant safety and special operations compliance. While the building has generally maintained good standing across most regulatory areas, the recent parking garage violations and air quality complaint suggest areas requiring ongoing monitoring.
