1446 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

1446 1st Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Vito Mazzarino in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most concerning being recurring heat and hot water problems. In March 2023, the entire building faced heat and hot water violations, and similar issues were reported in November 2021. These problems seem to have persisted, as indicated by open violations related to heating system access and hot water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees.

Additionally, there were water leak issues in Apartment 3B that remain open from December 2021. The building has undergone multiple health and safety inspections, with varying outcomes. In 2024, an inspection noted an open violation regarding access to the heating system, and in 2023, violations were recorded for both heat/hot water and plumbing issues affecting Apartment 3B. While bedbug reports from 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2021 indicate no infested units or eradication attempts, there have been multiple annual reporting requirements, suggesting proactive monitoring of this potential issue.

The building's maintenance history includes both food establishment inspections and rodent checks, with the most recent rodent inspection in 2019 showing compliance (Passed). The property has seen improvements in certain areas, as evidenced by the closure of multiple violations between 2022 and 2024, including repairs to plaster surfaces and window mechanisms in Apartment 3B. However, the recurring nature of heating and plumbing issues suggests these systems may require ongoing attention. With the most recent bedbug reports showing no current infestations, this indicates effective pest management practices are being maintained. The building's age and history as an Old Law Tenement are typical for its classification, and while there have been various violations and service requests over the years, many have been addressed through proper channels and inspections.
