1088 Park Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

1088 Park Avenue is a 15-story, 87-unit residential building constructed in 1925, currently managed by owner Larry Leighton. The Upper East Side property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, most notably concerning its façade safety. In March 2023, the building received an "Unsafe Notification" related to its façade (LL11/98), which remains an active complaint, though a subsequent inspection in March 2023 found no violations for a separate maintenance complaint.

The building currently faces multiple active violations related to filing requirements and safety inspections, including failures to submit required External Low Pressure Inspection reports for 2021 and 2022, and issues with swarming conditions filed in November 2023. A Cycle 9B Unsafe Report was filed in March 2023, and there are additional open violations concerning façade safety documentation from 2024. The building's maintenance history shows a mixture of resolved and ongoing issues, with a particular pattern of inspection compliance lapses.

In 2021, there was a boiler-related violation that resulted in an Oath Violation being served, and the property has consistently maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations from 2019 through 2024. Rodent inspections conducted annually from 2010 through 2019 showed consistent passing results. The property has had multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2022 for various repairs and maintenance work, including plumbing and general work permits. While most environmental control board violations have been resolved with no penalties, there are ongoing concerns regarding timely reporting and inspection submissions that suggest potential maintenance oversight.
