1798 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

1798 Third Avenue is a 4-story, 14-unit Old Law Tenement building located in East Harlem and owned by Peter Polow, dating back to 1910. The building has experienced only two notable incidents regarding resident comfort over the past three years: a heat/hot water emergency complaint in February 2024, which was promptly investigated and resolved by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development within three days.

Prior to this, the building had maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status, with the official reports from 2019 through 2025 showing "0" infested, eradicated, or re-infested units throughout the six consecutive years of reporting periods. The property has also demonstrated exemplary pest control measures, as evidenced by passing all rodent inspections conducted from 2017 through March 2025, including three inspections in 2024 alone, indicating regular and successful management of potential vermin issues. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with the only recorded service request related to heating issues being promptly addressed.

The consistent rodent inspection passes indicate that not only is the building maintaining basic habitability standards, but that the ownership appears to be actively addressing potential pest control issues as they arise. While the heating system malfunction in 2024 represents a minor infrastructure concern, the rapid response and resolution from HPD suggests that building management is generally responsive to resident needs. The absence of any additional significant complaints or health/safety issues on record over recent years points to overall stability in the building's condition since 2020.
