1140 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

1140 5th Avenue is a 15-story, 44-unit residential building constructed in 1921, currently owned by Stanley Hochhauser, located in New York City's Upper East Side. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and construction efforts over the past five years, most notably a recent construction project in 2022-2023 that resulted in a stop work order due to withdrawal of the application, though this order was fully rescinded in February 2023. The building has been subject to multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) inspections, with tenant safety inspections conducted regularly between 2020-2022, all showing no violations at the time of inspection.

Two environmental violations related to building wall maintenance were recorded in 2021, one on the north side involving A/C unit sleeves and another concerning spalled cornices, though both were resolved. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with bedbug reports from 2019-2024 showing zero infested units, and passed all rodent inspections conducted from 2009-2019. The property's maintenance history shows consistent attention to building upkeep, with multiple work permits issued for electrical and general maintenance work between 2019 and 2023.

Recent permits from 2023 include an electrical work permit that was issued on October 3, 2023. Previous structural issues included concerns about exterior walls and appurtenances, though these were addressed through proper resolution channels. The building's compliance record also shows that an initial FISP (Facades Inspection Safety Program) violation from 2018 for late filing was ultimately dismissed after the timely submission of the Cycle 8B report. While there have been various complaints and violations recorded in the past, they generally represent routine maintenance issues rather than any immediate safety concerns, and most have been resolved in a timely manner through appropriate channels.
