1431A York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

1431A York Avenue is a 5-story, 18-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Elie Sarraf and constructed in 1910 under the Old Law Tenement classification. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns centered around heating and hot water systems. Between December 2022 and February 2023, multiple complaints were filed about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, leading to violations for inadequate heat and hot water supply.

More recently, in February 2025, there was a complaint about unsanitary conditions related to pests, though this was investigated and no housing law violations were found. The property has faced various infrastructure challenges, including water leakage, ceiling plaster issues, and roofing concerns reported in late 2023, most of which were closed without violations being issued. A notable emergency complaint about roofing in October 2023 remains partially concerning as HPD could not gain access to conduct an inspection.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to pest control, with multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2019, though no bedbug infestations were reported in the 2023-2024 filing period. There are also open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements as of April 2024, and a 2021 work without permit issue was recorded and resolved with a $2,500 penalty. Building systems have undergone various inspections, including ventilation system checks in 2019, with some inspections resulting in failed compliance.
