1645 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

1645 York Avenue, a 5-story, 19-unit Old Law Tenement building located on the Upper East Side and owned by Frank Deguzman, has experienced several maintenance issues between 2018-2019. The most significant problems occurred during December 2018 when multiple complaints related to heat and hot water were filed, including one for the entire building and several for individual apartments, all of which were classified as emergencies.

The building also faced several non-emergency maintenance issues in March 2019 involving paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, and problems with door frames, though inspections did not result in any violations. Prior to these incidents, December 2018 also saw complaints regarding plumbing (sewer) issues and unsanitary conditions in garbage/recycling storage areas, all of which were subsequently closed without violations. In terms of recent history, there have been minimal issues in the last few years, with the most recent complaints being a sidewalk shed complaint in April 2024 (which warranted no violations) and a report of illegal hotel rooms in March 2020 that could not be investigated due to lack of access.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs since late 2020, with no reported infestations in the past five filing periods. Rodent inspections have shown consistent compliance, with only one failure recorded in April 2018 out of multiple inspections between 2011 and 2019. The property's most recent inspection results suggest improved overall maintenance, with no major violations or recurring problems reported in recent years.
