1622 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029
1622 Madison Avenue is a 5-story, 11-unit old-law tenement building located in East Harlem, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Craig Harty. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues, with numerous complaints filed between April 2024 and November 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
These complaints resulted in multiple emergency inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with violations issued for inadequate heat and hot water systems. In late 2024, two specific apartments (1B and 2A) were cited for hot water violations, along with further infrastructure concerns including locked access to the heating system in the basement boiler room. More recently, the building has faced electrical issues, with a power outage reported in May 2025 that was investigated by HPD, though no violations were found.
The property also has ongoing rodent issues, with multiple instances of rat activity documented between 2024 and 2025, and consistent bait application records throughout 2024-2025 suggesting persistent pest control efforts. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025), the building's maintenance record shows various other infrastructure concerns, including an open violation from 2021 regarding a broken bathroom window in apartment 3B and an open violation from 2024 regarding a defective intercom system. The building's history indicates recurring challenges with basic services, particularly heat and hot water systems, and ongoing concerns with pest control that may affect resident comfort and safety.
