1227 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128
1227 Madison Avenue is a 15-story, 94-unit residential building constructed in 1958 located on the Upper East Side and currently owned by Franklin Kern. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent service requests in May 2025 documenting problems including window frame issues, wall paint/plaster concerns, heavy water leaks, and unsanitary mold conditions, all of which resulted in emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints. Notably, there are two open violations from July 2023 in apartment 15C related to water leak damage and plaster/paint issues.
The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with multiple complaints about water leaks between 2022-2025, including heavy flow incidents and damp spots. In addition to water-related issues, there have been several concerns about door and window maintenance, with multiple complaints and violations regarding door/window conditions between 2022-2025, including a significant emergency complaint in July 2023. The building's façade maintenance was called into question in June 2022, when violations were issued regarding loose mortar fragments on the exterior below the 11th floor.
The Department of Buildings has recorded multiple structural stability complaints between 2021-2022, though inspections generally found no violations warranting further action. While the building has maintained consistent adherence to bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations since at least 2019, there have been no recent rodent inspection violations, suggesting effective pest control measures are in place. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly related to water leaks and window/door conditions, though many complaints have been resolved through HPD inspections, which typically do not issue violations. The building has also demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over multiple years, showing zero infestations in recent filing periods.
