1760 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

1760 Madison Avenue is a 7-story, 84-unit residential building constructed in 1985, currently owned by Michael Slavin. The building has experienced persistent elevator issues, with multiple complaints from late 2023 through early 2024 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," leading to multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations and penalties totaling $27,500 for failure to maintain the elevator in a code-compliant manner.

More recently, between February and August 2024, there was a cluster of maintenance issues including problems with appliances (particularly refrigerators), plumbing systems (radiators), ventilation systems, and cabinetry. Of particular concern is the active pest infestation violation as of September 2024 in Apartment 401, affecting both roaches and mice, which follows a similar pattern of infestations previously documented in Apartment 212 earlier in 2024. The building has undergone several inspections and service requests throughout 2023-2025, with particular attention to rodent control, as evidenced by multiple bait application records and rat activity reports from February 2024 through April 2025.

While there have been multiple violations and service requests, many have been resolved without penalties or additional violations being issued, including several regarding unsanitary conditions, garbage storage issues, and various appliance problems. The property has maintained an active bedbug control program, with no reported infestations in recent years between 2021 and 2025. Three of the most significant problems currently affecting residents include the ongoing elevator maintenance issues (with both active ECB violations and significant past penalties), the unresolved pest infestation violations in Apartment 401 as of September 2024, and the pattern of heating system issues as indicated by multiple radiator complaints.
