1172 Park Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

1172 Park Avenue is a 14-story, 46-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Jeffery Hufnagel and located in Manhattan's Upper East Side. The building has undergone several significant events in recent years, particularly related to facade work and compliance issues.

In 2021, during facade restoration work, multiple active violations were issued regarding improperly installed suspended scaffolds and inadequate supported scaffold conditions, with penalties totaling $5,875. These violations were later addressed, and as of March 2024, the associated stop work order was fully rescinded. Currently, the building has two active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from December 2023 and 2024 concerning failure to display the required energy efficiency score and grade.

The building has demonstrated good pest control management, with consistent rodent inspection passes from 2011 through 2023, and no bedbug infestations reported in any of the past eight years of mandatory reporting (2018-2024). Multiple engineering and maintenance permits have been issued over the years, most recently in January 2025 for work classified as "PL." The property has experienced occasional compliance issues with energy benchmarking requirements, though most of these violations have been dismissed after proper documentation was submitted. The building's recent history shows active maintenance of compliance requirements, as evidenced by the absence of any recurring pest issues and prompt responses to violations when they occur.
