1056 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028
1056 5th Avenue is a 19-story, 87-unit residential building constructed in 1949 and currently owned by Thomas Usztoke. The building has experienced several notable incidents in recent years that warrant attention.
Most recently, in June 2025, there was a complaint regarding debris potentially falling from the building, though inspections found no violations. In 2023, there were two tenant safety inspections conducted in March and April that resulted in a stop work order being fully rescinded, while a March complaint regarding construction work beyond approved plans could not be assessed due to lack of access. Significant violations remain active, with multiple enforcement actions for failure to submit required EER reports for the years 2021-2023.
The building has a history of electrical and construction compliance issues, including a 2023 violation for unpermitted electrical work in unit 6E that resulted in a $1,600 penalty, and a 2020 violation related to an inadequate tenant protection plan. While the building has passed its rodent inspections from 2010 through 2019, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2018, as evidenced by the regular pest control reporting indicating zero infested units during the past seven reporting periods (2019-2025). The property has generated multiple work permits over the years, with the most recent related to electrical work issued in 2021.
