1577 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128
The five-story, 8-unit building at 1577 3rd Avenue in the Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Steven Kashanian, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years that warrant attention. As of January 2025, there are three open emergency complaints related to a malfunctioning door (reported January 2025), plumbing issues with a sink (reported June 2025), and a pest problem (reported June 2025). The building experienced multiple infrastructure challenges in late 2023 and throughout 2024, including plumbing problems (toilets, sinks, and water supply), an unsanitary condition involving mold, and pest infestations.
The property has also faced several Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting Apartment 2S in December 2023, where issues were documented regarding pest infestations, plumbing problems, and a faulty bell-buzzer system. Additional concerns were noted regarding fire safety systems, with violations recorded in January 2023 regarding gas dryer venting and the need for automatic sprinkler coverage in the laundry drying areas, and environmental violations citing inadequate housekeeping and building maintenance requiring $2,625 in penalties. Recent inspections show fluctuating results regarding rodent control, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 passing, while a failed inspection in October 2023 noted issues needing attention.
The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with all recent filings showing zero affected units. While some violations have been resolved, including door repairs in Apartments 2S and 5N and various plumbing issues, the persistence of certain open complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building underwent a tenant safety inspection in July 2023, and there were also investigations into potential illegal activities and electrical/plumbing concerns in early 2023, though these issues don't appear to have resulted in ongoing concerns based on inspection results. The property has undergone multiple Department of Buildings inspections between 2019 and 2024, with various outcomes, including some instances where the inspector was unable to gain access.
