1295 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

1295 1st Avenue is a four-story, 14-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and managed by 1295 First Avenue Corp. The building has undergone several recent inspections and corrections, particularly in late 2024, when multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were identified and subsequently addressed. These violations included requirements for proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detection device requirements, gas leak procedures, and housing information guides, as well as the need for a completed certificate of inspection visits in a proper frame.

Notably, two Class C violations were resolved concerning devices preventing self-closing doors at the building's entrance and vestibule. In early 2025, there was a complaint regarding defective/exposed electrical wiring, though access to investigate was denied. The building has maintained a good record regarding pest control and sanitation, with no reported cases of bedbugs in the past six years (2019-2025), as evidenced by the consistent filings showing zero infested or re-infested units.

Similarly, regular rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2019 all resulted in passing grades, indicating effective pest management practices. While the recent violations and the electrical complaint (with access denied) are noteworthy, the building's overall maintenance history shows prompt correction of identified issues, particularly the 2024 violations which were certified as corrected by October 2024. The property appears to have relatively few ongoing safety concerns, though the pattern of violations related to building safety notices and door functionality suggests occasional lapses in maintenance of common area requirements.
