1492 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075

The 6-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building at 1492 1st Avenue, owned by Vincent Campione, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly during early 2023 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding building-wide issues with heat, hot water, and cooking gas. Between February 1 and February 14, 2023, the building received at least ten 311 service requests related to these systems, with violations issued for inadequate gas supply and heating problems.

The property has ongoing Housing Maintenance Code violations as of October 2023, including issues with heat/hot water systems and gas supply, though many previous violations related to door self-closing mechanisms in the entrance and vestibule were certified as corrected in February 2023. More recent activity includes an after-hours work complaint in November 2023, which was investigated but found to have no violations at the time of inspection. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs since 2019, with no reported infestations in the past five years.

While rodent activity was noted during a March 2021 inspection, subsequent inspections have generally passed. The property has been subject to regular inspections and reporting requirements, including consistent bedbug reporting showing zero infestation cases. The combination of ongoing heating and gas supply violations, particularly during the winter of 2023, suggests potential challenges with building systems maintenance, though many earlier issues appear to have been addressed as of 2023.
