1585 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128
The 14-unit, 4-story residential building at 1585 3rd Avenue, owned by Highpoint Associates V, LLC and constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues over the past year. From November 2024 through February 2025, there were multiple HPD complaints and violations related to heat and hot water systems affecting the entire building, with inspections often unable to gain access to units for verification. The building currently has several open violations, including issues with the exterior north wall's brickwork and mortar joints, and problems with a self-closing vestibule door on the 1st story.
The heating system appears to be a persistent problem, with multiple emergency complaints and violations recorded throughout 2023-2024. The building's heating system has been a recurring source of complaints, with active violations related to an inoperable Weil McLain 980 steam boiler and combustion air fan issues from 2023-2024, resulting in multiple ECB violations for which penalties remain due. There are also significant concerns from 2023 regarding alleged illegal occupancy of the first floor and cellar as an adult physical culture establishment, with associated construction violations for unpermitted partition installation.
Building maintenance issues have been noted, including problems with the boiler room access, heat supply, and various safety and maintenance concerns. While recent inspections (2025-2024) have shown rodent activity in some periods, recent inspections have passed, and bedbug reports from 2024-2020 showed no infestations during the reporting periods. The property management's response to maintenance issues and violations has varied, with some violations remaining open and penalties due, particularly relating to heating system maintenance and building access concerns for inspections. The building's management has also faced active violations related to an unpermitted business signage installation from 2024, resulting in a $6,250 penalty.
