1482 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075

The 4-story, 6-unit tenement building at 1482 1st Avenue, owned by 77 Yorkville Estates LLC, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since 2010, with the most recent significant problems occurring in May 2023, when multiple water leak complaints were filed, including reports of heavy flow and damp spots, particularly affecting apartment 4N. The building has a documented history of heating and hot water system failures, with multiple emergency complaints in 2019 and 2021 indicating building-wide outages, though these issues were reportedly resolved promptly based on tenant feedback.

Structural concerns were raised in 2021, when two Environmental Control Board violations were issued regarding facade maintenance, including a notable structural crack above the 4th-floor window, though these were resolved with penalties of $625 and $2,500 respectively. The building's maintenance record shows some progress in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported since at least 2019, and regular rodent inspections (2010-2019) consistently passing.

Notable historical violations include a 2018 ECB violation for boiler maintenance issues (resolved) and various housing maintenance code violations related to water leaks, heat, and structure. The most recent inspection in 2025 resulted in no violations being warranted, though there was a prior construction-related complaint in 2021 that resulted in an Oath violation. The building's age (built in 1910) and history of water-related issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding roof and plumbing systems, while the regular passing of rodent inspections and absence of bedbugs in recent years indicate improved pest control measures.
