1271 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021
Located at 1271 3rd Avenue in Manhattan's Upper East Side, this 5-story, 46-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900 has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. The most recent service requests from May 2025 involved electrical outlet/switch issues, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no housing law violations. In 2024, there were multiple health department interventions related to a nearby food establishment, including rodent/insect concerns and food temperature violations, along with two documented food poisoning incidents; all were deemed isolated cases.
The building has maintained a relatively clean record in terms of pest control, with bedbug reports from 2023-2024 showing no infested units. However, there have been concerning patterns with the building's intercom system, with two separate HPD complaints in 2024 about bell/buzzer/intercom issues requiring inspection. The building's Department of Buildings (DOB) history shows minimal major violations, with two complaints in 2022-2023 regarding unauthorized work and unsafe demolition, though both were found to have no warranted violations upon inspection.
The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with most recent inspections in 2021 showing passing results, though there were failures recorded in 2016 emphasizing past rodent control challenges. Multiple permits were issued in 2018-2019 for various building maintenance work, indicating regular upkeep of the property. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the past few years, most complaints have been resolved without establishing violations, though the electrical and intercom system problems warrant attention from building management. The property's record shows consistent monitoring and response to health and safety concerns, particularly regarding the rodent situation which has improved over the years, with recent inspections consistently passing compliance checks.
