1493 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075
1493 York Avenue is a 13-story, 233-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1956 and currently owned by Luis Solano. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in multiple emergency complaints between 2021 and 2024, including two complaints in early 2024. There have also been significant plumbing and water-related problems, most notably a heavy water leak reported in April 2024.
The property underwent a structural monitoring period initiated in 2023, during which several concerning issues were documented, including reports of building shaking and vibration. The parking garage has been a particular focus of attention, with multiple violations and complaints regarding its condition between 2023 and 2024, including concerns about concrete floor disrepair, water logging, and structural issues that resulted in fines totaling $6,250. While the building's management has addressed some violations, including a 2022 requirement to repair a defective compactor closet door, access issues have sometimes hindered inspection processes. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past two years (2022-2024), though there were two isolated incidents in 2019 and 2022.
Rodent inspections from 2016 to 2020 consistently passed, demonstrating effective vermin control. The property has undergone various maintenance and repair work, as evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2020 for electrical and plumbing work, suggesting proactive management of building systems. Recent 311 complaints include a 2024 food poisoning incident that was referred to state authorities, though this appears unrelated to the building's general conditions. The building's overall maintenance record shows a mix of prompt responses to violations and some persistent system issues, particularly regarding heating and water supply.
