1664 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

The five-story Upper East Side tenement at 1664 3rd Avenue, owned by Ken Konfong and containing 8 units, has been in existence since 1910 and maintains a generally positive maintenance record. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with all ten inspections from 2016 through 2025 passing successfully, indicating effective pest management. Furthermore, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases between 2020 and 2025 across all annual reporting periods.

Recent concerns include an unresolved food poisoning complaint filed with DOHMH in April 2025, and a heating/hot water issue reported in February 2024 affecting the entire building, which inspectors were unable to verify due to access issues. The building has experienced some maintenance challenges, including an emergency complaint regarding staircase conditions in January 2020 (with no violations found upon inspection), and a 2019 violation for improper vent installation that resulted in a $500 fine. Compliance with Local Law 188/17 inspections has faced access issues in 2021, though this is not unusual for many buildings.

The property's history includes one food poisoning incident in 2020 that was deemed isolated by health authorities. The building's overall condition appears stable, with no recent recurrence of heating or pest issues, and it has consistently passed rodent inspections. While there have been some maintenance and access challenges, these do not seem to indicate any systematic problems within the building. The most significant recent concern remains the unresolved food poisoning complaint from 2025, which is currently under investigation.
