1584 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

The five-story, eight-unit building at 1584 1st Avenue in the Upper East Side, owned by Frances Motta and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in May 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including the presence of pests, which resulted in violations being issued by HPD.

The building has also faced recurring issues with ceiling problems and plumbing concerns, particularly involving toilets, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations throughout 2025. While the property has maintained a consistent record of filing zero infestation reports for bedbugs from 2020 to present, there was previously one citation in 2021 for failure to file the annual bedbug report, which was subsequently corrected. The building's maintenance history shows a generally positive pattern in some areas, with regular rodent inspections passing consistently from 2010 to 2019, with one instance of rat activity noted in October 2016.

However, the recent cluster of complaints and violations in 2025 suggests emerging maintenance challenges. The property has also undergone multiple food establishment inspections by DOHMH, with the most recent in February 2025, though specific details of these inspections are not provided in the dataset. While there are no ongoing major violations as of June 2025, the recent pattern of complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and maintenance issues warrants attention.
