1368 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

1368 York Avenue is a 5-story, 18-unit old law tenement building located in New York City's Upper East Side, built in 1910 and currently owned by Anthony Ventura. The property has experienced recurring issues over the past few years, primarily related to food establishment health violations.

Between February 2022 and August 2024, there were multiple Health Department complaints regarding food worker hygiene, temperature control, and contamination concerns, as well as several reports of rodent, insect, and garbage-related problems, particularly in 2024 when five such complaints were filed in August alone. While some of these complaints were administratively closed and others had resolutions documented, the frequency of violations suggests ongoing sanitation challenges. The building has maintained a generally good record with respect to pest control, as evidenced by six consecutive rodent inspections between 2017 and 2020 that passed, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in November 2010.

Furthermore, the property has demonstrated effective management of bedbug problems, with zero infested or eradicated units reported in the last five annual filings from 2019 to 2024. Two complaints were filed in April 2024 regarding adjacent buildings and unpermitted work, though inspections on April 24, 2024, found no violations in either case. An active complaint from 2019 regarding an illegal storefront sign or awning remains on record.
