1473 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075

The 12-unit, 4-story old law tenement building at 1473 1st Avenue, owned by Nick Didomenico and constructed in 1910, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, most notably concerning heating systems. Between January 2024 and February 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, with at least six documented reports of building-wide heating issues, often requiring emergency intervention by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building has also faced structural and safety concerns, particularly in apartment 3C, where violations were noted in 2024-2025 related to smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector maintenance, as well as water leaks, ceiling conditions, and electrical systems.

Two significant egress-related violations were recorded in 2021, resulting in penalties for inadequate means of egress and blocked emergency routes. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related issues, with several heating system failures and leaks documented over the past two years. However, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent filings showing zero infested units.

Rodent inspections conducted from 2010 through 2019 consistently passed, indicating effective pest management. The most recent bedbug and rodent inspections in 2024-2025 show no reported infestations or issues. The building's violation history also includes various maintenance requirements, such as repairs to prevent ceiling leaks and attention to deteriorated plaster surfaces, with some violations remaining open as of October 2024 and requiring follow-up.
