1430 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 6-story, 21-unit residential building at 1430 3rd Avenue, owned by Scott Berman and constructed in 1925, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably regarding heat and hot water systems. In early 2023, multiple complaints were filed simultaneously regarding heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with similar issues reported in December 2022.

The building has also required attention to basic maintenance concerns, including recent paint and plaster work needed for ceilings, with the most recent complaint filed in October 2023. Structural and safety matters have included multiple violations related to building entrance doors, with repairs documented in 2023 showing attention to self-closing mechanisms and door fitment issues. The property has maintained a regular pest control program, with rodent inspections showing generally positive compliance results from 2015 through 2022, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in October 2021.

The apartment formerly known as 3D has been the focus of several maintenance issues over the years, including past violations regarding heat supply, gas services, and sanitation concerns in 2016-2018. However, more recent bedbug reporting (2021-2023) shows no recorded infestations, and a pest violation from 2022 was properly addressed with a certification of abatement by July 2022. The building's location and vintage as an "Old Law Tenement" class property are consistent with the age and typical maintenance profile expected of such a structure in New York City.
