970 Park Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

970 Park Avenue is a 14-story, 40-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1912 located on the Upper East Side and currently owned by Russell Heigel. The building has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably a façade safety concern in March 2022 that initiated the LL11/98 Unsafe notification process, though this was later documented as addressed through permits and inspections.

In 2024, the building received violations related to energy benchmarking report filings, with one active violation from May 2024 and another dismissed in September 2024 after confirmation of submission. The property has maintained a clean record in terms of pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2019-2024), and consistent passing results in annual rodent inspections from 2010 through 2019. Recent repair and maintenance records show active building management, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2023 for various construction and maintenance work, including emergency work permits in both 2021 and 2022.

The building has had a few complaints requiring investigation, including a debris concern in August 2023 and a plumbing issue in 2018, both of which did not result in any violations being warranted. In 2022, a violation was issued regarding unsupported scaffolding during construction work, which was subsequently resolved. While the building has faced some administrative violations in recent years, particularly regarding energy reporting requirements, it has generally demonstrated prompt remediation of safety concerns and maintained a good record of compliance with health and safety inspections, particularly regarding pest control and sanitation.
