1679 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

The three-story, eight-unit building at 1679 Madison Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Benito Fernandez, has maintained a relatively stable record since its 1910 construction. The most recent significant health and safety concern was a rodent issue reported in January 2020 and closed in June 2024, which was administratively resolved. The building has undergone regular inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing consistent rodent control compliance, including three consecutive passed inspections in 2024 and 2025.

Bedbug reports from 2020 through 2025 show zero infestations or eradication efforts, indicating a successful pest control regimen. The building has experienced several complaints to the Department of Buildings, though none resulted in violations upon inspection. These complaints included reports of excessive debris in 2022, building vibration/structural concerns in late 2018, and unpermitted work in 2018, all of which were resolved through inspection.

A plumbing permit was issued in August 2019, though the specific nature of the work was not detailed in the provided data. Regular rodent inspections over the years reveal only one instance of rat activity in November 2023, with subsequent inspections showing compliance. The building's maintenance record, particularly in terms of bedbug and rodent management, suggests attentive oversight of pest control issues, while the lack of recent major complaints or violations indicates stable building conditions in recent years.
