980 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075

980 Fifth Avenue is a 25-story, 45-unit residential building constructed in 1968 and currently owned by Steve Treadway. The building has experienced significant issues with its Privately Owned Public Space (POPS) compliance, with the most recent violation occurring in August 2024 resulting in an active $5,000 penalty for failure to post required signage. Between 2021-2022, there was a notable series of construction-related violations, including multiple ECB violations regarding suspended scaffold safety and construction document compliance, though these were subsequently resolved with penalties totaling $8,750.

The building has maintained a generally positive record regarding pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024), though there was a significant incident in 2020-2021 involving 44 eradicated units. Rodent inspections between 2011-2019 showed occasional rat activity but mostly demonstrated compliance with inspection requirements. The property has undergone multiple construction projects as evidenced by at least nine work permits issued between 2019-2022, covering various emergency and alteration work, with all permits appearing to be properly issued and documented.

The building's safety and maintenance record shows regular attention to tenant safety inspections, with multiple inspections conducted between 2021-2022, most resulting in no violations. However, there have been persistent issues with displaying energy efficiency scores, resulting in violations and penalties in both 2021 and 2024, though these violations were ultimately dismissed in October 2024. The property's cleanliness and maintenance appear generally satisfactory, with no recent complaints regarding sidewalk conditions or scaffolding issues since 2021.
