1050 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028
Located in New York City's Upper East Side, 1050 Fifth Avenue is a 20-story, 90-unit residential building constructed in 1958 and currently owned by Scott Frugis. The building has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably a potentially serious situation regarding its façade in February 2023 when it received an "Unsafe" designation under Local Law 11/98, though this was later dismissed.
The property has undergone construction work requiring multiple permits and inspections, including two separate instances of stop work orders in late 2023, though both were fully rescinded. There have been recurring compliance issues regarding the building's energy efficiency score display requirements, with violations noted in 2020 and 2021, and an active violation from December 2022. The building's maintenance history shows generally responsible management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years (2018-2024) and regular rodent inspections, though there was one instance of rat activity reported in August 2021.
Recent exterior work has been closely monitored, evidenced by an ECB violation in November 2023 regarding unsafe work practices during façade alteration work, though no penalties were imposed. The building has undergone regular safety inspections, including tenant safety inspections in 2021 which found no violations, and various sidewalk shed and construction-related complaints, most of which were resolved without penalties. The most recent service request, related to a mobile food vendor, was resolved by the NYC Health Department in early 2025.
