1364 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

The five-story, 18-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1364 York Avenue, built in 1920 and currently owned by 1364 York LLC, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past year. Most notably, there was a significant heat and hot water problem documented between December 2024 and January 2025, with multiple complaints filed by tenants, though inspections generally showed these issues were resolved. More recent concerns include electrical problems (no lighting) and various unsanitary conditions (pests and garbage/recycling storage issues) reported in April 2025, all of which were investigated but didn't result in documented violations.

The building has also faced plumbing issues, with the most recent complaint regarding a sink basin filed in April 2025. The property underwent a detailed inspection in September 2024 that revealed several violations in Apartment 14, including problems with the smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, bathroom tiles, water leak, bathroom faucet, bell buzzer intercom system, door lock, and hallway clutter. These violations were certified as corrected by late October 2024.

Additionally, there is one active violation regarding the failure to file a 2019 external low-pressure inspection, issued in June 2023. While the building has passed multiple rodent inspections in recent years (2016-2020), it maintains a good track record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero cases reported in the past six years. The building's general maintenance history shows regular inspection and response to issues through HPD and DOB channels, though the frequency of heat/hot water complaints in early 2025 was notable in terms of tenant impact.
