AI summary · updated June 2026

1274 Madison Avenue is a 15-story residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, containing 44 units and constructed in 1947, currently owned by Michael Levantin. The building has maintained a consistently positive record in terms of pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the past seven annual filings from 2018 to 2025, and all recent rodent inspections (2011-2023) have passed without issue. The property has undergone regular maintenance and improvements, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2019-2021 for various exterior and plumbing work.

The building's Department of Buildings (DOB) history shows minimal violations, with two notable complaints. The first, in 2018, related to Professional Certification Compliance Audit and was closed without violations found. The second, in late 2022, concerned Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections and was also closed with no violations. An Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation was issued in 2018 regarding inadequate safety measures during documented unsafe notification (FISP3), though this was resolved with no penalties or balance due. While there were some administrative violations recorded in 2019, these were either dismissed or resolved through proper filing. The building's maintenance record, including regular safety inspections and prompt resolution of any identified issues, suggests attentive property management, though prospective tenants should note the placement of several exterior work permits issued in 2019-2021 which may indicate recent building improvements.

What's driving this score

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market conditions and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
