1936 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029
The 5-story, 8-unit residential building at 1936 3rd Avenue in East Harlem, owned by Geraldo Rivera, has a notable history of regulatory compliance issues over the past several years. Most concerning are the four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 still remaining open.
While the building has successfully passed multiple rodent inspections between 2018 and 2025, indicating effective pest management in that area, there are persistent concerns regarding building security and maintenance. A particularly concerning active complaint from June 2025 regarding the building being "Vacant, Open and Unguarded" is currently unresolved, representing a significant safety and security issue.
This follows a similar complaint from August 2019 that was investigated but deemed to have no violations at the time of inspection. Despite these enforcement challenges, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections over the past seven years, suggesting competent management in that aspect of building maintenance.
