1585 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028
The 16-unit, 5-story residential building at 1585 First Avenue in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Lewis Trencher, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably an entire-building heat and hot water outage reported in January 2024, for which violations were subsequently issued. As of mid-2025, there is an active investigation regarding smoking in prohibited areas, initiated in June 2025.
The building has accumulated multiple Department of Buildings violations since 2020 related to the failure to file mandatory external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2021, with these violations remaining active as of October 2023. The property has demonstrated good pest management practices, with comprehensive bedbug reporting showing minimal issues between 2019-2024, though one infested unit was reported and subsequently eradicated in 2020-2021.
All rodent inspections conducted between 2016 and 2024 have passed, indicating effective pest control measures. The building's specific heat and hot water system issues suggest recurring maintenance challenges, though more recent records show no significant systemic problems.
