1049 Park Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028
1049 Park Avenue is a 14-story, 36-unit New Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Peter Mettham. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most pressing concern being ongoing façade safety matters. In 2024, two exterior violations were recorded, noting spalling bricks and defective mortar joints on multiple elevations (January 2024) and decorative stone spalling between floors 12 and the roof (December 2023), though both violations were marked as resolved.
A 2022 unsafe façade notification (complaint #1592462) was documented as active at that time. The building also had a period of serious code compliance issues in 2019, including eight Environmental Control Board violations related to an unauthorized laundry room with gas dryers, improper gas utility conditions, and inadequate sprinkler systems, all of which have since been resolved. More recent history shows improved maintenance compliance, with the building passing all rodent inspections between 2010 and 2024, including the most recent inspection in March 2024.
Bedbug reporting from 2019 to 2025 indicates no infestations have been reported in the past five years, and the building's recent 311 service calls have been relatively minor, including only one rodent sighting complaint in 2024 that resulted in a passed health inspection. The property has generally demonstrated better compliance with building maintenance requirements in recent years, with all ECB violations from 2019-2024 marked as resolved, though one active Housing Maintenance Code violation from 2022 regarding bedbug reporting remains on record. The most recent permit activity from 2021 shows multiple permits were issued for work on the building, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements are being made to the property.
