2265 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035

2265 First Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1914, currently owned by 2265 First Avenue LLC. The building has experienced several significant safety-related incidents in recent years, most notably in August 2024, when violations were issued for broken or missing window guards, along with concerns about carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, all classified as emergency violations. The building has had recurring heat and hot water system issues, with complaints in 2024 (involving the entire building) and 2021 (affecting an individual apartment), though these were subsequently resolved.

Multiple housing maintenance code violations were identified and generally resolved, including concerns about plumbing fixtures, flooring, walls, and cabinets. Of particular note, a 2021 inspection revealed lead-based paint hazards and a rodent infestation issue in apartment 3S, though it appears these were addressed. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with various systems and safety features.

Between 2023 and 2025, there were multiple rodent inspection results showing both passing and failing grades, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 passing, but an October 2024 compliance inspection failing for "Other Reasons." The building has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024, with all reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Recent 311 complaints have been mostly addressed promptly, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducting inspections and generally finding no violations, except for the August 2024 window guard issue. In terms of building infrastructure, there have been multiple complaints regarding various plumbing fixtures, flooring, and general maintenance issues, though most of these were resolved without violations being issued. The building has passed recent inspections for both bedbug and rodent control, though there remain some unresolved safety concerns regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as of August 2024.
