1742 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128

1742 1st Avenue is a 6-story, 22-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Chris Paravalos and located in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring plumbing issues, particularly concerning water supply, with multiple tenant complaints in 2022, including several emergency reports in May (three separate complaints) and October.

Additionally, there were complaints regarding heat and hot water in October 2022, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) generally found no violations, except for one instance where inspectors were unable to gain access to units for verification. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all recent annual filings (2024-2021) showing zero reported infestations or eradications. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted with consistent passing results between 2016 and 2024, though there was one failed inspection in November 2017 for "Other Reasons." The property has undergone some maintenance work as evidenced by permit issuances in 2020 and 2021, both related to electrical work (job number 140959862).

The building's inspection history for pests and rodents is notably strong, with no bedbug issues reported in over six years and regular passing results in rodent inspections, suggesting effective management of these environmental concerns. While the plumbing and heating issues in 2022 were clearly a significant concern at the time, they appear to have been addressed, with no similar complaints recorded in the following years. The most recent building-related activities include successful rodent inspections in 2024 and 2023, indicating ongoing compliance with health and safety standards.
