1731 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128
1731 York Avenue is a 37-story, 265-unit residential building constructed in 1986, currently owned by Moses Berkowitz. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with notable problems including multiple water leak complaints (heavy flow) in early 2024, unsanitary conditions related to pests and garbage storage, and ventilation issues affecting indoor air quality. There is an active concern regarding elevator systems, with a complaint filed in June 2025 about multiple devices on the property.
The building has faced regulatory scrutiny, with several open violations related to safety and maintenance requirements, including failure to submit required parking structure reports, electrical system issues, and exterior wall maintenance documentation. The property's history shows persistent challenges with basic services, including heating and hot water systems, plumbing issues, and occasional rodent activity, though there have been no verified bedbug infestations reported in recent years. Multiple tenant safety inspections have resulted in violation notices that were typically addressed, though some violations remain open as of 2025. The building management has been required to respond to various emergency and non-emergency complaints through HPD and DOHMH, with some issues being resolved through inspections that found no violations.
Notably, there was a pattern of elevator device complaints between 2021 and 2025, and several citations for non-compliance with safety sign requirements and documentation submissions. The building's maintenance record shows a history of general upkeep work being performed regularly, as evidenced by permit issuances between 2018 and 2023 for various maintenance tasks. While many of the complaints have been resolved through official inspections and repairs, the persistence of certain violations and the frequency of service requests suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent filings indicate improvements in pest control, with no reported infestations in the latest bedbug reports, though rat activity remains a recurring concern with multiple inspections showing evidence of presence.
