1020 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

1020 Fifth Avenue is a 14-story, 13-unit New Law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by 1020 Fifth Avenue Corporation. The building has undergone multiple inspections and maintenance activities over the past few years, with the most recent complaint in March 2025 concerning unsafe site conditions for workers, though this was promptly addressed with an Oath Violation.

Between 2023-2025, the building underwent several rounds of Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections, all of which were resolved with no violations found. The building has experienced some permit-related scrutiny, with complaints about work being done without proper permits in June 2024, though inspections did not warrant any violations at that time. Of particular note are two active ECB violations from December 2022 regarding the building's sidewalk shed, specifically concerning non-compliance with required colors and exposed bolts, with penalties of $1,250 and $2,400 respectively.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2019-2024), and passed all rodent inspections between 2016-2023, except for one instance in 2012 which was subsequently resolved. Multiple permits for various work types (EW - Emergency Work, PL - Plumbing) have been issued regularly since 2019, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance with city requirements. The building's management has generally responded promptly to inspections and violations, with most issues being addressed through compliance inspections rather than more severe enforcement actions.
