1523 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

1523 York Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1920 and currently owned by William Friedland. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past seven years, with the most recent concerns being a heat and hot water complaint in March 2025 that was not inspected due to lack of access.

Between 2023 and 2024, multiple mandatory bedbug reports were filed with HPD, though these filings showed zero infested units. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in November 2019 yielding a passing result. Significant historical violations include several instances in 2018 requiring correction of inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, which was ultimately certified as corrected by August 2018.

The building experienced unsanitary conditions related to pests in March 2024, though this complaint was also closed without inspection access being granted. The property has demonstrated a pattern of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with no reported infestations since at least 2020. While the building has had recurring issues requiring HPD involvement, many of these complaints were closed without access being granted for inspections, and the property has maintained a generally acceptable record in terms of pest control and other mandatory inspections.
