1578 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028
1578 York Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Ziyan Shi and constructed in 1910. The property has experienced recurring heating and electrical issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints about heat/hot water problems (both building-wide and apartment-specific) in 2024, 2023, and 2021, some of which required emergency HPD intervention.
There have also been three power outage incidents between 2021 and 2024, with violations issued during an electrical issue in January 2024. More recently, in 2024, there were concerns about the building's submission of annual bedbug reports, though inspections in 2024-2025 showed the building passed for rodent conditions. The building currently has several active violations as of 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018 and 2021, and significant outstanding violations based on a 2024 inspection of apartment 1RW.
These violations include issues with heat/hot water systems, water leaks, lighting fixtures, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, door/winow components, and plastered surfaces. While there have been multiple complaints regarding unauthorized work in occupied multiple dwellings between 2023 and 2024, inspections found no violations. The building's management appears to have had challenges maintaining proper safety equipment, as evidenced by the open violation regarding the carbon monoxide detector in apartment 3C, dating back to 2021.
