1 Convent Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027
1 Convent Avenue, a 5-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement built in 1901, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years under the ownership of Michael Aryeh. The building has been grappling with multiple rodent-related issues, with the most recent complaints in 2025 showing signs of rodents and rat sightings. Rodent inspections have shown variable results, with some passing and others indicating rat activity.
The property has also faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, though some have been resolved. Additional health and safety concerns include unsanitary conditions related to pests (both open and closed complaints), and a significant issue with mold reported in October 2024. Recent inspections have identified various building maintenance issues, including problems with fire safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), water leaks, and ceiling maintenance.
The Department of Buildings records show historical violations related to egress and building maintenance, including a 2021 finding regarding deteriorated roof cornice conditions. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status across multiple reporting periods between 2019 and 2025, the ongoing rodent issues and sporadic heat/hot water problems raise concerns about overall building maintenance. The property has experienced challenges with inspection access, particularly regarding unsanitary condition complaints, which has sometimes hindered timely resolution of reported issues.
