1265 Park Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

1265 Park Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Brandon Quinones. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in mid-2025 when multiple HPD complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold, heating issues, and intercom system problems. These complaints were generally closed either due to lack of access for inspection or because conditions were found not to violate housing laws.

The property has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, particularly notable in late 2024 through 2025, with multiple complaints and service requests, including several emergency-level situations. There are also persistent concerns about the building's intercom system, with multiple complaints filed between 2024 and 2025, many of which HPD was unable to fully investigate due to access issues. Additional maintenance issues have included problems with windows, a fire escape safety concern, and documented rodent activity in 2024-2025, as evidenced by multiple bait applications and compliance inspections by rodent control services.

The building has undergone some repairs and improvements, including addressing door hardware issues, although several violations remain open, particularly regarding the floor condition in apartment 5B (as of late 2024). Historical data shows previous concerns about egress access and boiler functionality, with inspections often unable to confirm violations at the time of the survey. The building's management has maintained regular pest control measures, showing no documented bedbug infestations in the past several reporting periods, and while there have been rodent issues, they appear to be actively managed through regular bait applications.
