1166 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065
The 16-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 1166 1st Avenue in the Upper East Side, owned by David Goldberg, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns regarding water damage and pest infestations. The property, built in 1910, has demonstrated a recurring pattern of water-related problems, with multiple emergency water leak complaints documented between 2023-2024, including significant flow issues affecting both individual units (notably in Apartment 5B) and common areas.
Pest control has been an ongoing challenge, with seven 311 complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests between May 2024 and December 2024, including confirmed mouse infestations in Apartment 4D and evidence of rat activity in 2022 during rodent inspections. Several building-wide maintenance issues have been recorded, including an open complaint regarding a defective front door reported in December 2024, water leaks affecting multiple units, and various violations related to building systems.
Two significant Environmental Control Board violations remain active as of 2025, one regarding improper storage of combustibles at the first-floor landing and another concerning unpermitted electrical work in the commercial space. There are also active Department of Buildings violations for failure to certify corrections of immediately hazardous conditions from 2024, and historical maintenance records show periodic rodent inspection failures between 2019-2021, though more recent inspections indicate improvement. The building's bedbug reporting for the 2023-2024 period shows no recorded infestations, suggesting successful management of this particular issue since early 2024.
