1549 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

1549 York Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by David Eshaghian. The Upper East Side property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent serious concerns occurring between December 2023 and January 2024, when two emergency heat/hot water complaints were filed and subsequently closed without access being granted for inspection. A food establishment-related complaint regarding rodents/insects/garbage was reported in late 2024 and closed by the NYC Health Department.

The building's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control. In December 2023, multiple complaints were filed concerning heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, and in July 2023, there was an unsanitary condition complaint related to pests. Water-related issues were noted in 2019, when a slow leak was reported, and there was an emergency complaint regarding paint/plaster ceiling problems from the same year.

While there have been two bedbug violation notices in 2021 and 2022 regarding the failure to file annual reports, subsequent inspections have shown zero infested dwelling units in the building. The property has maintained a passing record for rodent inspections from 2011 to 2019, with all inspections marked as passed, though bait was applied in October 2016. Most recent inspections and violations include a 2023 environmental control board violation regarding window A/C unit support brackets on floors 4 and 5, with a $250 penalty imposed, and a June 2023 enforcement work order violation. The building's housing maintenance code violations are generally closed without any current open violations, and there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the past two years, with the most recent filings in 2024 showing zero affected units.
