1575 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

At 1575 3rd Avenue in Manhattan's Upper East Side, this 5-story, 14-unit Old Law Tenement built in 1910 has experienced recurring issues with heating and water systems in recent years. The building has documented multiple heating and hot water complaints between 2024-2025, with both apartment-specific and building-wide concerns, suggesting ongoing challenges with these essential systems. In early 2025, there were three notable complaints (water supply, window frame, and heat/hot water) that required HPD intervention, though access issues sometimes prevented thorough inspections.

While the building has maintained a zero-record of bedbug infestations over the past several years, with consistent reporting showing no affected units, there was a concerning open violation from August 2021 related to door self-closing mechanisms in Apartment 2A. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, all of which have passed, demonstrating compliance with health standards. Historical data reveals a pattern of water-related issues, including water leak complaints in 2021 and 2024, and a critical boiler violation in 2021 that required legal action.

The building's infrastructure systems have been regularly monitored, with the most recent low-pressure inspection violation from 2023 being dismissed. While the property owner, Tzongyih Jean, has responded to many complaints through repairs and interventions, the frequency of heating and water-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. However, the building's rodent control program appears to be effective, with consistent passing results in all recent inspections.
