1594 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

The five-story, 17-unit building at 1594 3rd Avenue, owned by Peter Salvatore and constructed in 1925, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent months. Most concerning are multiple heat and hot water complaints in February 2025, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, all of which were resolved within days. January and February 2025 saw additional maintenance concerns, including plumbing issues with water supply and problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system, though some inspections were hindered by access issues.

The building has also faced recurring maintenance challenges in 2024, particularly affecting apartment 5D, which experienced multiple violations in July 2024 related to water supply (both hot and cold), bathroom ceiling conditions, and even a mouse infestation. The property has been subject to various Housing Maintenance Code violations, primarily addressed and closed, including issues with the roof's water leakage and fire retardant materials. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a strong track record of rodent control, passing all inspections since at least 2016, with the most recent passing inspection conducted in May 2025.

Bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 show no infestations or related issues. While the building has experienced multiple maintenance issues requiring HPD intervention, most complaints have been addressed promptly, though some inspections have faced access challenges. The building's violation history shows a gradual pattern of maintenance issues being identified and addressed, with a significant cluster of complaints and violations appearing between summer 2024 and early 2025.
