990 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075

990 5th Avenue is a 14-story residential building located on Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1927 and containing 6 units. The property, currently owned by George Skintei, has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, though generally maintaining reasonable standards for a building of its age. Most notably, there was a heating and hot water emergency complaint in January 2021 that required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, and a recent rat activity finding during an inspection in January 2025, though previous inspections in 2024 had all passed.

The building has faced several regulatory requirements, including the need to file benchmarking reports of energy use and mandatory safety inspections. A significant violation related to failed FISP Cycle 8C technical report filing from April 2019 remains active as of the latest records. The property has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported occurrences in the past seven reporting periods from 2019 through 2024.

Rodent inspections prior to 2025 consistently passed, though the most recent inspection shows some concern. External service requests have been minimal, with only one health department-related mobile food vendor complaint in late 2022, which was resolved through standard procedures. The building appears to be maintaining its basic compliance obligations, though some historical violations and recent pest control challenges warrant attention.
