1371 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 6-story, 21-unit New Law tenement at 1371 Madison Avenue in the Upper East Side, owned by Anthony Caro, was built in 1906 and has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most pressing are the active violations as of 2023-2025 concerning building safety systems, including failures to file necessary high-pressure inspections and comply with energy efficiency requirements. The building has had multiple emergency maintenance incidents, particularly in early 2024, involving heat/hot water issues and cooking gas problems.

There are ongoing concerns about building infrastructure, with recent violations noted for window frames and self-closing doors in apartments 3A, 3B, and 4A as of 2024. Recent health and safety inspections have revealed recurring issues, particularly with food establishment compliance and pest management, though the most recent bedbug reports (2025) show no infestations. The building's record shows a concerning pattern of unresolved and repeated maintenance issues, including lighting problems, unsanitary conditions (mold), and various apartment-specific repairs.

Notable safety inspections in 2021 highlighted deficiencies in the sprinkler system, elevator service, and debris management, though some of these violations were resolved through Oath processes. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, showing zero infestation cases in recent filings, though there were periods of rodent activity observed between 2012-2021. The most recent building permits from 2019 indicate various infrastructure improvements, though the exact nature and completion status of these works are not specified in the current records.
