2025 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10029

2025 1st Avenue is a 6-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Joshua Salon. The building has experienced some notable recent issues, most significantly in 2025 when concerns were raised about building stability, triggering two complaints about structural monitoring and vibration in May, followed by the issuance of a violation regarding a large vertical crack extending from the roof to the 5th floor. An engineering report related to this crack was reviewed and accepted in June 2025.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with garbage/recycling storage, with two HPD complaints in 2023 (February and June), though inspections found no violations. Between 2024-2025, three notable violations were issued regarding entrance doors, including self-closing mechanisms and hinges at the 1st story vestibule, though these were subsequently closed. The building's safety record shows relatively good maintenance of essential systems, with no documented bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2025), and consistent passing results in multiple rodent inspections from 2018 to 2025.

Previous years' records indicate various compliance issues that have since been addressed, including notification requirements for carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and other building safety postings, which were closed in 2024. The building has undergone regular bedbug reporting as required, showing no infestation cases, and recent housing maintenance code complaints have generally been resolved without finding violations. While the building's recent history shows some concerning structural issues, these appear to be under review with appropriate inspections and documentation, and the property maintains generally good compliance with other housing regulations.
