1482 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

The 21-story apartment complex at 1482 Third Avenue on the Upper East Side, owned by Simon Bohbot and built in 1963, contains 178 units and has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there were multiple emergency situations in late 2018/early 2019 involving mold and sanitary conditions, with violations related to wall paint/plaster requiring attention. In 2019, the building faced challenges with indoor air quality (chemical vapors), pests, and a brief period without heat/hot water, though these complaints were eventually closed without violations being issued.

A concerning pattern of issues emerged in 2022-2023, including appliance problems (refrigerator) and a vaccine mandate non-compliance incident. The building's management has maintained a relatively clear record regarding bedbugs in recent years, with consistent documentation showing no active infestations or eradications since 2019. The property has recently faced several regulatory requirements and violations, including a 2024 penalty for parking structure inspection reporting and issues related to energy efficiency score display.

However, most violations from 2022-2024 appear to have been resolved or dismissed upon inspection. The building underwent routine rodent inspections between 2010-2019, all of which passed, suggesting relatively good pest control measures. Recent tenant safety inspections in 2025 (April) found no violations. The building has had multiple repair and maintenance permits issued over the years, with several active as of 2021-2024, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvement work being performed on the property.
