1409 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021
1409 York Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1910 and currently owned by Howard Hershkovich. The building has experienced recurring issues with both water and electrical systems over the past several years, with significant concerns noted between 2021-2024 including multiple water leak incidents (heavy flow in 2021-2022, slow leaks in 2022-2023), and electrical problems including a power outage in March 2023 and no lighting issues.
The property has also faced several health and safety violations, including open violations from August 2022 related to fire escape conditions, roof bulkhead maintenance, and mold presence in the cellar, though the building's bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show no infestation records. Recent activity from 2023-2025 has primarily involved food safety concerns and rodent management, with multiple food establishment complaints to DOHMH including incidents of food poisoning and permit issues in 2024-2025, and a consistent pattern of rodent activity requiring bait application throughout 2025.
The building has undergone regular inspections with mixed results, experiencing violations related to self-closing doors in the cellar and basement areas, fire escape conditions, and various maintenance issues. While some emergency repairs have been addressed promptly, as evidenced by closed HPD complaints regarding radiator and wall conditions, the persistent nature of certain issues such as rodent activity and water leaks suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested units since 2019.
