1160 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

1160 1st Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Ludlow Place Corp. The building, constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in early 2023, when multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems were reported, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These complaints were documented through both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, indicating consistent thermal system deficiencies.

Additionally, early 2023 saw two food poisoning complaints that were determined to be isolated incidents. More recent issues include a June 2023 violation regarding improperly installed window A/C units on the 3rd and 5th floors, which resulted in a $500 penalty. The building has undergone various inspections and maintenance work throughout recent years, with specific violations noted in apartments 2S and 3S. Apartment 2S was cited in August 2023 for multiple issues, including mold, water leakage, and problems with self-closing doors.

The winter of 2023 also saw violations related to heating and hot water systems, with inspections revealing inadequate supplies of heat and hot water in apartments 5N and 5S. A series of emergency complaints about cooking gas issues were also documented in early 2023. While the building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2021, and rodent inspections have shown improvement with consistent pass results in recent years, the heating, hot water, and gas supply issues appear to be recurring problems. The most recent building permit was issued in February 2023, and various maintenance code violations from late 2023 have been marked as closed, suggesting some level of remediation has occurred, though the persistent nature of these complaints indicates ongoing maintenance challenges.
