1402 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10021

1402 York Avenue is an 11-story residential building located in the Upper East Side, owned by Sari Ancona and completed in 2019 with 11 units. The building has experienced periodic pest-related issues, with the most recent complaint filed in March 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, though no violations were found upon inspection. Prior to this, the building received violations in both 2021 and 2022 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD, though these violations were subsequently closed.

A series of construction and safety-related complaints were documented during 2019-2020, including incidents of illegal after-hours work and construction safety compliance issues, particularly during the building's early months of operation. These issues generally resulted in no violations being issued or were resolved promptly, with one construction safety compliance action resulting in a fully rescinded stop work order in April 2020. The building has maintained good overall safety and sanitation records since its completion.

Regular rodent inspections between 2011 and 2021 consistently passed, and the most recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024 show no identified infested units, maintaining a zero infestation record since 2019. The property has undergone multiple permitted construction activities as evidenced by numerous permits issued between 2019-2020, covering various types of work including electrical, plumbing, and other essential systems. While there have been several complaints regarding building conditions and construction activities, the responses from regulatory agencies typically resulted in no violations being issued, suggesting that while there have been issues requiring attention, they have generally been addressed through proper channels without resulting in significant regulatory penalties.
