1 East End Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10075

1 East End Avenue is a 15-story, 32-unit residential building constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Bryan Lamaj. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past five years, with the most pressing being an active façade safety notification from December 2021. The building has a documented history of rodent problems, with multiple complaints and inspections between 2018-2020 showing rat activity, though more recent inspections in 2021-2022 passed without violations.

Several building systems have required attention, including a defective boiler system in 2022 that resulted in an Oath Violation being served, and multiple instances of work being performed without proper permits in 2020 related to plumbing and sprinkler systems, for which Oath Violations were also issued. The building has faced challenges with regulatory compliance, including multiple active violations from 2021 regarding failure to display required energy efficiency scores and unresolved swarm conditions, as well as issues with documenting correction of immediately hazardous violations. Environmental Control Board violations in 2022 noted various boiler system defects, though these were resolved without penalties.

Despite these challenges, the building has maintained good pest control practices, with bedbug reports from 2019-2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units. The property has demonstrated responsiveness to regulatory requirements, obtaining multiple permits for necessary work, including plumbing and electrical repairs, though some of the work has been done without proper permits in the past. The building's management has also implemented rodent control measures, with bait applied and compliance inspections showing improvements in recent years.
