1471 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075

The four-story, seven-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1471 1st Avenue in the Upper East Side, owned by Nick Didomenico and constructed in 1910, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past three years. Most notably, there have been three sets of simultaneous complaints in September 2023 regarding flooring/stairs, door, and pest-related unsanitary conditions, though inspections were unable to gain access to verify these issues. The building has a documented pattern of heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints in both March and October 2022, and plumbing/water supply issues reported in October 2022.

Multiple unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests were filed between November 2021 and January 2023, though these were either resolved or no violations were found upon inspection. More recent developments in 2024 indicate potentially concerning structural and safety issues, with complaints regarding work without permits, construction contrary to approved plans, and a potentially unauthorized raised wood platform. The building has also faced periodic egress concerns, with a January 2023 complaint about a blocked exit resulting in an Oath Violation.

Historical data shows irregularities in the building's maintenance history, including Bedbug Reporting violations in 2021, though recent filings from 2022 to 2025 show no reported Bedbug infestations. While the building has generally passed rodent inspections, there was one failure documented in February 2017. The property has received various Housing Maintenance Code violations over the years, particularly regarding annual Bedbug reporting requirements.
