1287 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

1287 Madison Avenue is a 5-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Maria Vitagliano. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns being water supply and heating systems. In 2021, there were multiple complaints about water supply problems, with at least two emergency plumbing-related incidents recorded in June 2021.

There was also a pattern of heating and hot water issues in late 2020 and early 2021, with emergencies reported in December 2020 and February 2021, though these were subsequently corrected according to HPD records. The property has several active violations as of 2023, including three unaddressed external low-pressure inspection filing violations from 2018, 2020, and 2021, issued on June 30, 2023. Exterior maintenance concerns have also been noted, with an active Department of Buildings violation from December 2021 regarding cracked, spalling, and disintegrating window sills/water table at the 5th floor.

However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in each of the annual reports filed between 2019 and 2024. Additionally, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with successful inspections recorded between 2010 and 2023, showing effective pest management practices. The building's history shows a pattern of heating and water supply issues between 2020-2021, which appeared to be resolved at that time, though similar issues have not recurred in recent years. The presence of multiple active violations relating to pressure inspection filings suggests some ongoing regulatory compliance challenges, while the building's excellent pest management record and regular rodent inspection compliance demonstrate effective maintenance in those areas.
