1634 York Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10028

1634 York Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Upper East Side neighborhood, owned by Phido Co. Inc. and constructed in 1900.

The building has experienced recurring issues with compliance to the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements, receiving multiple violations between 2022 and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, with inspection dates showing these violations remained open as of April 2024. More recently, in June 2025, there is an active Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaint regarding smoke/odor from a mobile food vendor. The building has had two notable events regarding safety - a fire escape complaint in late 2023 that required inspection but resulted in no violations, and two sidewalk shed complaints in 2024 that were investigated and found not to warrant violations. The property has maintained good rodent control, passing all inspections from 2010 through 2019.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there were three separate complaints in late 2021 regarding non-compliance with vaccination verification requirements, all of which were properly addressed by health authorities. The building's permit records from March 2020 show the issuance of two permits, though the specific purposes of these permits are not detailed in the current data. Two complaints regarding illegal after-hours work in 2021 and issues with a sidewalk shed in 2024 were investigated but found not to warrant any violations. The building appears to have generally maintained good inspection records, though the repetitive nature of the bedbug report violations over multiple years suggests ongoing administrative oversight issues.
