993 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

993 5th Avenue is a 17-story, 19-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Donald Zilkha. The building has experienced several significant events in recent years, with particular attention needed to its construction and permit compliance history. Most notably, there have been multiple incidents of work being performed without proper permits, including a situation in August 2023 that resulted in a $2,500 violation fee for continuing work on the 11th floor after the permit expiration.

In early 2025, a stop work order was issued but was later fully rescinded. The building is also currently listed as having an active violation for failing to file the FISP Cycle 9C technical report by the February 2024 deadline. The building's health and safety record shows consistent maintenance in several areas.

There have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past six years, as evidenced by regular bedbug reporting showing zero infested units each year since 2019. Rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2017, with the most recent yearly inspections in 2024 demonstrating ongoing compliance. A June 2024 complaint regarding insects/pests from a mobile food vendor was addressed by the NYC Health Department, though this appears to be related to an external vendor rather than a building-specific issue. The property has undergone regular Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections for active jobs, with most inspections finding no violations, though one complaint from September 2024 remains active as of the most recent information available.
