1593 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

1593 York Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Giles Levy. The building has maintained a solid track record of compliance with essential housing regulations in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four annual reports (2022-2025) and passing all rodent inspections consistently since 2010.

While there have been some maintenance issues, particularly in 2021, these were generally resolved without formal violations. These include a paint/plaster complaint that took nearly a year to close (2021-2022) and multiple complaints regarding unauthorized work in occupied dwelling units, though inspections found no violations warranting enforcement action. The building has received several environmental and safety-related inspections, with the most recent notable incident occurring in February 2024 regarding electrical wiring, which also resulted in no violations.

In 2018, a violation was recorded and resolved concerning an illegally erected illuminated awning, with a $1,250 penalty that has since been paid. The property has maintained regular bedbug and rodent monitoring, consistently demonstrating effective pest control and compliance with all relevant housing maintenance codes. Recent permit activity includes two permit issuances in July 2019, though specific details regarding their purpose were not included in the available data.
