1661 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

1661 Madison Avenue is an 8-story, 14-unit residential building in East Harlem, constructed in 2022 and currently owned by 1661 Madison Holdings, LLC. The building's history shows several clusters of construction-related complaints in 2022 and 2023, including multiple reports of work being performed without the necessary permits, with four such complaints recorded between May 24 and May 30, 2023. Notably, there was a building stability concern reported in June 2022, though this was resolved with the rescission of the Stop Work Order.

During construction, two Construction Safety Compliance actions were initiated in June 2022, resulting in an Oath Violation being served. A significant incident occurred in June 2022 when a motor vehicle impacted the sidewalk shed, causing partial collapse of approximately 20 linear feet, though this violation was eventually dismissed in March 2023. The building's most recent Department of Buildings complaint in February 2024 regarding work without permits was closed with no violations found.

A documented violation from October 2023 related to failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violation was dismissed in November 2023. Importantly, the building has maintained a clear record regarding bedbug issues, with official reports for both 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 showing zero infested units, zero eradication efforts, and no re-infestation cases, suggesting effective pest management practices. The property has undergone various inspections as part of its regular compliance checks, with most resulting in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection.
