1136 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065
1136 First Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Vince Young. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a current Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigation (opened June 2025) regarding food establishment letter grading. The property has documented problems with heat and hot water supply, including an emergency apartment-only complaint in November 2023, multiple HPD inquiries into heating issues in March 2021 and July 2021, and several related violations.
Pest control appears to have been a recurring concern, with multiple reports in July 2021, though recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) indicate no infestations. The building has undergone various inspections and faced several violations, including an open Class C violation from 2021 regarding an obstructed fire escape drop ladder at the front of the building and issues with locked boiler room access. Maintenance of the heating system has been particularly problematic, with violations noted in both 2021 and 2020.
Food safety has also been a concern, with a food poisoning incident investigated in 2020 and the current grading issue in 2025. The property has experienced some rodent activity, as evidenced by a 2022 inspection noting rat activity, though previous inspections from 2016 through 2019 passed without issues. Recent history shows improved sanitation conditions, with consistent bedbug report compliance showing no infestations from 2019 to 2024. Two complaints about work without permits were investigated in 2023 but found no violations at the time of inspection.
