2279 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10035

2279 3rd Avenue, also known as The Bridge South Condominium, is a 7-story, 13-unit residential building constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Michael Padernacht. The building has experienced recurring structural and maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns regarding the façade and building stability. Most notably, there are active violations as of 2024 related to façade maintenance, including cracked brickwork observed on the 5th floor and failure to submit required facade inspection reports for Cycle 9B.

The building's structural stability has been a recurring theme, with multiple complaints about building shaking and vibrations, including a recent complaint in January 2023. The elevator system has also presented challenges, with violations in 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections and elevator service issues, though these were resolved with penalties paid. Recent inspections have shown generally positive results regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years and successive rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passing successfully, though there was one rodent activity report in April 2023.

The building has experienced one significant incident affecting structural compliance, with damages reported in January 2023 related to a fire at the adjacent property (2277 3rd Avenue) that affected windows and doors. The property has multiple active violations as of 2025, including penalties for not filing required facade inspection reports and issues with façade maintenance. While the building has generally maintained compliance with pest control regulations, the ongoing façade and structural issues represent the most notable challenges for this relatively new construction.
