1431 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021
1431 York Avenue, a 5-story, 18-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Upper East Side and owned by Elie Sarraf, has experienced several notable events in recent years that may impact resident experience. Most concerning are two patterns of complaints in late 2024 through early 2025 involving food establishment issues with rodents/insects/garbage, with the New York City Health Department getting involved. The building has also faced recurring rodent issues, with multiple bait applications recorded between October 2024 and February 2025, following periods of rat activity as noted during inspections.
A significant heating and hot water emergency occurred in November 2019, with multiple complaints from tenants about widespread system failure, though these complaints were ultimately resolved with confirmation that services were restored. The building's maintenance history shows some consistent issues requiring attention. Between 2019 and 2024, there have been multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, though recent filings from 2025 show no current infestations.
Two active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 regarding failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2019 and 2020 remain on record. The most recent building inspection activity has focused on rodent control, with three bait applications recorded in early 2025, suggesting ongoing pest management efforts. While the building's systems appear to be receiving regular attention, as evidenced by the frequency of inspections and bait applications, the persistence of rodent issues and historical heating system problems indicate areas requiring continued monitoring.
