1511 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

1511 York Avenue is a 20-story Class A residential building in the Upper East Side, containing 148 units and constructed in 1966, currently owned by Jeffrey Feil. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns being heating system reliability and plumbing problems. In 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints regarding heating/hot water issues, including an emergency report in May 2025, and several plumbing complaints between 2023 and 2025 affecting various systems including sinks and water supply.

The building has also faced pest control challenges, particularly with rodent sightings, with the most recent complaints in 2025 showing ongoing concerns despite inspections passing with only minor violations. The property underwent a notable infestation period for bed bugs between 2020-2021, with 12 units affected, though subsequent years (2022-2025) show no reported infestations. The building's infrastructure and maintenance records reveal ongoing attention required for various systems, including multiple elevator complaints, though all were found to have no violations upon inspection.

In September 2023, multiple violations were issued for apartment 9A, including issues with floors, walls, and ceilings, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected. The building has maintained compliance with rodent control measures, passing all inspections from 2017 through 2025, with bait application noted in 2021. An active ECB violation from October 2024 indicates a $2500 penalty for failing to submit a required parking structure report. Despite these challenges, the property has generally addressed individual complaints as they arise, with most being resolved upon follow-up inspections, though some heating and plumbing issues appear to be recurring concerns affecting resident comfort.
