1743 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 11-story, 23-unit building at 1743 1st Avenue in the Upper East Side, constructed in 1920, is currently managed by 3gr/1743 Llc. The property has experienced recurring heat and sanitation issues over the past several years. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a building-wide heat and hot water complaint that HPD could not investigate due to access issues.

In 2020, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, along with emergency issues concerning windows/door frames and heat/hot water systems. The building has also faced compliance issues with the Department of Buildings, including an active violation related to the FISP Cycle 8C Technical Report that was due in February 2019, though it's worth noting that a 2019 violation regarding a Category 5 inspection was dismissed. While bedbug reports show minimal activity with only one infested unit reported in 2019 (all subsequent reports from 2019-2024 show zero infestation), the rodent inspections present a mixed picture, with rat activity observed in December 2023 and October 2023, though the most recent inspection in September 2024 passed.

The building's maintenance history shows some attention to building systems, with a permit for work issued in January 2019, and previous heat/hot water complaints were recorded both building-wide and at the apartment level. Inspections have occurred regularly, with the most recent rodent inspection in September 2024 passing, though the frequency of heat-related complaints and the recent inability to inspect in 2025 raises ongoing concerns about building systems reliability. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug and pest control reporting, showing proactive management in this area, with the most recent reports from late 2024 showing no active infestations.
