1150 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10128
1150 5th Avenue, a 15-story New Law Tenement built in 1924 in East Harlem, currently has an open heat and hot water complaint as of May 2025, representing the building's most recent maintenance issue. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints between 2021 and 2025, including several emergency complaints in April 2021 that were eventually resolved. A significant cluster of maintenance issues emerged in July 2021, when multiple emergency complaints were filed relating to unsanitary conditions (mold), flooring problems, plumbing issues (bathtub/shower), and ceiling paint/plaster problems, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection in these cases.
The building has an apartment (3E) with persistent open violations from a July 2020 inspection, including issues with plaster surfaces, plumbing fixtures, mold, flooring, and missing safety devices such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. As of 2025, the property shows an active violation for failure to display energy efficiency information, dating back to December 2021. While the building has maintained a record of bedbug control with no infestations reported since 2020, recent rodent inspections show recurring rat activity, with multiple detections between 2023 and 2025, though the most recent inspection in June 2025 passed.
The property has experienced various infrastructure maintenance needs over the years, with multiple permits issued for work between 2019 and 2024, including plumbing and exterior maintenance work. The building's history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing maintenance challenges, with particular attention needed to the building's heating system and the persistent violation issues in apartment 3E dating back to 2020. Recent rodent activity suggests continued challenges with building maintenance and pest control, though the property has successfully managed bedbug eradication in recent years.
