1293 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

1293 Madison Avenue is a 5-story, 16-unit residential building located on the Upper East Side, owned by Khedouri Ezair and built in 1890. The building has experienced several recurring issues over the past five years, with the most significant concerns centered around maintenance and basic services. Recent records show a 2024 rodent sighting investigation by the Department of Health that could not access the property, and an unresolved food poisoning complaint from February 2023.

The building has faced multiple heat and hot water problems, with emergencies recorded in both March 2022 and December 2023. There have been notable maintenance issues including a slow water leak, ceiling paint/plaster problems, and various appliance-related complaints between 2022-2023. The property has active violations regarding its exterior facade, with multiple citations between 2020-2022 for deteriorated masonry, window sills, and lintel areas on both Madison Avenue and East 92nd Street facades, with associated penalties totaling over $15,000. More recent violations from 2023 involve failure to file pressure inspection reports.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the last five filing periods (2020-2024), and has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2010, though a recent complaint in 2024 marks a potential change in this pattern. The property has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, with many being resolved and certified through appropriate channels. Notable recent improvements include addressing safety concerns in apartments 2D and 4A, where violations related to water leaks, ceiling damage, and safety devices were corrected between July and October 2023. However, the persistence of facade-related violations and recent service complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges at this historic property.
