1344 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021
The 20-story residential building at 1344 1st Avenue, owned by Jane Lamster and constructed in 1961, has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over recent years. Most notably, between 2021-2022, there was a cluster of complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, with multiple reports filed in September 2022, though these did not result in violations. The building underwent a significant safety inspection in 2022 that revealed multiple issues, including several self-closing doors needing repair in the laundry room, south stair, compactor closet, and north stair on the 7th story, as well as defects in basement garage doors.
An active violation as of 2023 indicates failure to file the required FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report by the deadline. More recent inspections in 2023-2025, including two tenant safety inspections in March-April 2023, found no violations. The building has maintained an active rodent inspection record with consistent passing results, latest being February 2023, and has shown no documented bedbug infestations in reporting periods from 2021 through 2024, with reports indicating zero infested units.
A notable maintenance issue from 2021 involved mold in Apartment 20C's bathroom, which received an emergency violation, though this was later addressed. The property has experienced various maintenance requests over the years, including refrigerator issues in 2021 and a door-related problem also in 2021, though many of these did not result in violations. Multiple permits have been issued between 2019-2022 for various work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the building systems.
