1460 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

The three-story, 10-unit tenement building at 1460 1st Avenue, owned by Paul Brensilber and constructed in 1910, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with documented complaints in April 2023 and March 2020 affecting the entire building. While inspections were conducted in response to these complaints, access issues prevented thorough investigations in 2023, and in 2020, inspectors noted that heat was not required at the time of their visit.

The building has also faced several safety and maintenance challenges, particularly in 2022 when multiple violations were recorded regarding missing electrical outlet covers in public halls across all floors, and a free-standing radiator nuisance was documented on the fourth story. Earlier violations from 2019 indicated regulatory compliance issues with required safety signage, including gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and building registration information, though these were subsequently certified as addressed.

The property's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest control, with all eight bedbug reports between 2018-2024 showing zero infested units, and comprehensive rodent inspections since 2010 consistently passing. Records also indicate that the building was actively managed in terms of maintenance and compliance requirements, with several electrical and plumbing permits issued in late 2018 for various repairs and improvements, suggesting ongoing efforts to maintain building systems. The most recent rodent inspection in August 2024 resulted in a passing grade, continuing the property's record of successful pest management.
