1374 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021
1374 York Avenue is a 5-story, 18-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Robert Galpern. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints and violations emerging between October 2024 and July 2025. Most notably, Apartment 4A has been a focal point of concerns, with multiple violations unaddressed as of early 2025 including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, broken locks, pest infestations (including mice and roaches), and moisture/mold issues.
The building's systems have shown recurring problems, with multiple complaints about plumbing (including water supply and toilet issues), flooring/stairs conditions, and heat/hot water supply between October and November 2024, though many were found not to violate housing laws upon inspection. The building has a history of code compliance issues, with active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021 remaining unresolved, primarily related to failures to comply with previous commissioner's orders. There have been multiple complaints about illegal hotel rooms and conversions between 2019-2021, with some resulting in Oath Violations.
Recent building system concerns include a boiler complaint in February 2025 and a work without permit issue in October 2024, though no violations were found at inspection. Despite these ongoing issues, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent showing no infestations reported between 2021 and 2025. The property has also demonstrated good bedbug management practices, with no reported cases in inspections from 2020-2025. While some of the recent violations have been marked as certified by early 2025, significant concerns remain regarding the overall condition of the building and its systems, particularly in the affected apartment.
