1660 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

This four-story, six-unit residential building at 1660 1st Avenue was constructed in 1910 and is currently owned by Vincent Ventura. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most notable being a water leak and mold problem in February 2021 that affected the fourth story (4S) - violations were issued but subsequently closed. These issues coincided with multiple housing violations that required repairs to both interior and exterior elements, including defective plastered surfaces, roof leaks, and fire retardant materials in the public areas.

The building has undergone regular rodent control measures, particularly in 2018, with multiple bait applications recorded, though more recent inspections in 2019 passed without issues. A water leak and mold complaint in 2021 resulted in housing violations that required repairs to the roof and ceilings, both in the affected apartment and common areas. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all annual reports since 2020 showing zero infested units. In May 2023, there was a complaint about illegal after-hours work, but inspections found no violations.

More recently, in early 2024, the building had an issue with missing notifications and signs related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and housing information requirements, though these were addressed promptly. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations and following up on complaints, with most issues being resolved through inspections and repairs. While there have been multiple instances of water-related problems and rodent control measures in the past, the current status as of 2025 shows no active infestation reports and most historical violations have been closed. The property underwent an extensive inspection in 2021 that resulted in several safety-related violations pertaining to public areas, including missing notices for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these appear to have been resolved based on subsequent records.
