1371 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

1371 1st Avenue is a 5-story, 13-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Enredi Shtylla. The property has experienced recurring pest and sanitation issues over the past few years, with the most recent complaint in March 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, though inspectors were unable to gain access.

The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple complaints between 2022-2023, though recent rodent inspections (September 2023 and January 2023) passed without violations. Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in 2022 for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings from 2022 through 2024 show zero infested units or required eradication efforts. The building's maintenance history shows several heat and hot water complaints, including an emergency complaint in February 2023 that was resolved quickly.

Multiple inspections and service requests related to garbage/recycling storage and unsanitary conditions have been documented, though many were closed without violations being issued. The property has maintained regular compliance with rodent inspections in 2023 and 2021, though earlier inspections in 2019-2020 had mixed results with recorded rat activity. While the building has had persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding sanitation and pest control, recent records indicate improved compliance, particularly in bedbug management and rodent control, with no active infestations reported in the past two years.
