400 5th Avenue, Manhattan

A Midtown condo tower that keeps its own code record clear while sitting in the center of active street commerce.

Built as a high-rise on Fifth Avenue, this condo carries no open housing-code violations. But the surrounding blocks are some of the busiest commercial zones in Manhattan, shaping the daily experience outside the lobby. Three things to know:

An intense street-level footprint. While the building itself carries zero open housing-code violations, its Midtown location places it in a highly active street environment. Over the last year, there were 205 homeless-assistance calls within three blocks—with 191 flagged as non-chronic—alongside 119 encampment reports, which is a heavy volume even compared to the citywide encampment total of 48,189 over the same period.

Vendors cluster on the surrounding blocks. The building has logged 14 lifetime vendor-enforcement complaints. Within three blocks, there were 105 vendor-enforcement complaints over the last year, with food vendors making up 85 of those calls—representing a high concentration compared to a citywide total of 25,334 vendor complaints.

Odors and air-quality complaints. With multiple food businesses and heavy traffic nearby, venting and exhaust are a recurring theme. Within three blocks of the building, there were 17 food-establishment complaints—concentrated around the ground-level commercial spaces—and 58 air-quality complaints over the last year, with the most recent food-establishment report logged on July 19, 2026.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 87 illegal parking calls within three blocks last year, driven by commercial loading traffic on the cross streets.
• 69 general noise complaints within three blocks last year, with the most recent logged on July 24, 2026.
• The building stays out of the municipal violation record, but the surrounding streets reflect the heavy-intensity environment of Midtown.
