1414 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029
1414 Madison Avenue is a 5-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1920 in East Harlem, currently owned by Yeong Shin. The property has experienced recurring pest and sanitation issues over the past two years, with particularly notable rodent activity. In 2024 alone, there were multiple rodent inspections with consistent findings of "Rat Activity," and previous complaints between April and March 2024 including rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents.
The building has also faced ongoing sanitation challenges, with several Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage between 2022 and 2023, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations. Recent inspections in 2023-2024 showed persistent rodent issues, but there has been recent improvement as evidenced by a "Passed" inspection result in May 2025. The building has maintained a good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years (2020-2025).
Previous violations dating back to 2019 included safety concerns such as defective self-closing doors at the building entrance, which were certified as corrected in July 2023. The property has experienced minimal major systems issues, with only one recorded electric power outage complaint in 2022. While sanitation and pest control remain ongoing challenges, particularly in 2023-2024, the most recent inspections suggest some improvement in rodent management.
