1113 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

1113 1st Avenue is a 12-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement located in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Joseph Taormina. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with the most recent incident occurring in February 2024 affecting the entire building, following similar complaints in October 2023, November 2022, and multiple instances in 2021-2022. There was a significant plumbing emergency in March 2023 involving water supply issues, with multiple complaints documented during that period.

Apartment-specific problems were noted between 2021-2022, including violations in apartments 2A and 2B regarding inadequate heat and hot water supply, as well as defective carbon monoxide and smoke detection systems. Notably, a boiler-related complaint was investigated in January 2022 but no violation was warranted at that time. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years (2019-2024) according to the mandatory reporting system.

Regular rodent inspections between 2017 and 2022 show consistent passing results, though there were multiple bait applications noted in 2017. The property has undergone periodic inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and other agencies, with some violations remaining open as of the latest data in 2023-2024. While some heating and water issues have been temporarily resolved through emergency interventions, the recurring nature of these problems suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges within this century-old building. The most recent bedbug and rodent inspection reports indicate effective pest management, with no recorded infestations or eradication efforts necessary in recent years.
