1267 Park Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

1267 Park Avenue is a 5-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building located in East Harlem, built in 1900 and currently owned by Nina Demartiniday. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed between April and December 2024, including several instances of building-wide system failures. Specific infrastructure concerns emerged in July 2024, with violations issued related to inadequate hot water provision in Apartment 2A, along with lighting and plaster issues in that unit.

Additionally, there have been recurring rodent infestation problems, with violations noted in both Apartment 1B (June 2024) and common areas (July 2024) citing the presence of roaches and rats, particularly affecting building front areas and stairways. The building's maintenance record shows concerning patterns regarding basic services and pest control, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to heating system access and hot water provision. A series of Department of Buildings violations from 2023 remain active, specifically concerning failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022.

Recent rodent activity has been documented through inspections in 2023-2025, with regular findings of rat activity and baiting efforts. While the building has maintained a "0" status for bedbug reports since 2019, the ongoing issues with heat, hot water, and rodent control suggest significant challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. The property has shown some responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by multiple certified dates for corrections in late 2024, though recent inspections continue to reveal persistent infrastructure and pest management issues.
