1442 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021
1442 1st Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Tomas Aponte. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, particularly between late 2023 and early 2024, with multiple emergency complaints recorded for both apartment-specific and building-wide outages. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted several inspections during this period, with varying degrees of tenant access and verification of problem resolution.
More recent complaints have included food establishment-related issues in 2024, with multiple reports of rodent/insect/garbage conditions, though these were administratively closed following inspections. A 2024 complaint regarding sanitary conditions in garbage/recycling storage areas was closed without violations. The building has a history of door-related maintenance issues, as evidenced by violations recorded in December 2023, including defective self-closing doors at the roof bulkhead and first-floor vestibule. These violations were certified for correction in January 2024.
While there was one food poisoning complaint in July 2024, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene deemed it isolated and scheduled a regular inspection. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with reports from 2018 to 2024 showing zero infested units. Regular rodent inspections from 2017 through 2022 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management. The Department of Buildings has recorded several complaints over the past few years, including one in 2022 regarding work without a permit and another in 2021 concerning potential excavation concerns, though no violations were found upon inspection.
