1575 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028
The 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1575 York Avenue in Manhattan's Upper East Side has been facing persistent pest control challenges over recent years, particularly with rodent issues. The most recent complaints were recorded in April 2025, with multiple rodent-related service requests showing similar patterns since 2020, including failed inspections in both March and April 2025.
The building has experienced recurring problems with unsanitary conditions due to pigeon waste, with violations documented in both 2021 and 2023. The Department of Buildings (DOB) records indicate some concerning complaints regarding unauthorized modifications to the building, with a work without permit complaint in December 2024 and an illegal conversion complaint in February 2025, though inspections did not find violations warranting penalties.
In November 2019, an Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation was issued for inadequate maintenance of the building walls and front steps, though this was subsequently resolved with no penalties imposed. Fortunately, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, showing zero reported cases in annual filings from 2018 through 2024. While the rodent control issues are concerning, the building has shown some compliance with inspections, passing in August 2024 and previous years, though recent inspections have resulted in failures for unspecified "Other Reasons."
