1629 Park Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029
1629 Park Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit residential tenement building located in East Harlem, dating back to 1900 and currently owned by Mervyn Frank. The property has recently experienced several concerning sanitation issues, with an open HPD complaint from April 2025 regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, following multiple similar complaints throughout 2024.
The building is currently undergoing scrutiny from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with a rodent-related violation issued in June 2025, marking a continued pattern of pest control challenges as evidenced by rat activity in early 2025 and previous inspections in 2023 that showed similar results, though these have generally alternated with "Passed" inspections. The building's maintenance history reveals some significant past issues, particularly in 2018 when multiple violations were documented in Apartment 5A, including problems with mold, water leaks, and various maintenance concerns such as ceiling repairs, plumbing issues, and a malfunctioning intercom system, though these violations were ultimately closed.
More recent concerns include an open violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection documentation, and a separate violation from 2024 regarding the annual bedbug report requirements, though records indicate no bedbug infestations were reported between 2021-2022. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2019, with varying results, and most recently showed rat activity in early 2025, suggesting ongoing challenges with pest management. While the building has demonstrated some recent compliance with various inspections, the combination of open sanitation complaints, rodent activity, and historical maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep and resident comfort.
