1462 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075

The four-story, five-unit building at 1462 1st Avenue in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1910, is currently owned by 1462 Enterprises, Inc and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's current condition regarding the boiler system, with two active Environmental Control Board violations as of September 2023 related to inadequate lighting in the boiler room, improperly supported flue, a non-self-closing door, and various maintenance deficiencies with the boiler equipment, each carrying a penalty of $655.

The building has demonstrated a consistent pattern of bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 to 2024, showing no cases of infestation during the reporting periods, though there have been repeated violations noted between 2021 and 2024 for failure to file annual reports. The property has faced various mechanical and operational challenges, including a defective boiler system complaint in September 2023 that resulted in an Oath violation. Historical 311 complaints show concerns with food establishments in the vicinity, including issues with food temperature and pasteurization in 2018 and 2019, as well as a rodent and insect complaint in early 2025 that was closed by the NYC Health Department.

The building’s maintenance history shows regular compliance with rodent inspections from 2016 through 2019, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2010, 2011, and 2018. The property has had at least four instances of violations regarding Required Annual Bedbug Reporting between 2021 and 2024, though the most recent 2024 filing indicates no units were affected. While there have been several permits issued for work on the building in 2019, records indicate various enforcement actions and complaints related to the building's systems and maintenance.
