1680 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

1680 1st Avenue is a 4-story, 5-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by John Ventura. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably in 2019 when there were heat and hot water complaints in multiple apartments, though these were resolved without violations. In March 2021, multiple violations were documented in apartment 4N, including issues with self-closing doors and defective plastered surfaces, all of which were subsequently addressed.

The building has had two notable compliance issues regarding boiler inspections in 2020 and 2023, though both violations were ultimately dismissed. The property's health and safety record shows consistent attention to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in any of the annual reports from 2019 through 2024. While there were two failed rodent inspections in 2018 and 2022, all subsequent inspections have passed, including three inspections in 2023-2024, indicating improved conditions.

The most recent building permit was issued in March 2020 for electrical work. The building's recorded 311 service requests and housing maintenance code violations suggest ongoing attention to building systems and resident concerns, though most issues have been resolved without persisting violations. The regular rodent inspections and consistent bedbug-free reports suggest proactive management of common urban pest concerns.
