1132 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

The 16-unit, 5-story building at 1132 1st Avenue in the Upper East Side, owned by Adam Daniels, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between April 2023 and February 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The property has also faced challenges with building systems and safety equipment, including an open violation from April 2023 regarding a defective smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector in apartment 3C, as well as issues with bathroom fixtures and self-closing doors.

Two low-pressure inspection violations were issued in June 2023 and remain active as of the current date. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various systems, though access issues have sometimes hampered inspection efforts. While there were two incidents of bedbug infestation reported in recent filings (one in 2022-2023 and another in 2023-2024), the most recent report from December 2024 indicates no current infestations.

The property has undergone regular rodent control measures, with multiple bait applications recorded between 2020 and 2022, though there were some compliance failures noted during inspections. Earlier complaints from 2018-2020 regarding electrical wiring concerns and possible illegal use of residential space were investigated but no violations were found. Separate from these issues, the building's intercom and buzzer systems have required attention, with multiple complaints recorded during 2023, all of which were eventually resolved through inspections or tenant verification.
