34 East 20th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
The four-story building at 34 East 20th Street in Gramercy, owned by Thomas Pollack, has experienced several concerning issues over the past few years, particularly related to health and safety. Most notably, there are two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and a recent Department of Buildings violation (June 2023) related to not filing the 2021 external low-pressure inspection, though this was subsequently dismissed in January 2025.
The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has responded to multiple service requests, including a 2024 complaint about ventilation issues, a rodent/insect/garbage complaint in 2024, and a smoking violation in late 2023. Previous concerns include a food poisoning incident in 2019 and another rodent/insect/garbage complaint in 2018, though these were addressed within a few days of reporting.
Despite these issues, the building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing all initial inspections conducted between 2009 and 2014. While a bedbug report was filed for the period from 2020-2021 showing no infestation, the two subsequent bedbug report violations in 2023-2024 suggest possible administrative oversight rather than active pest issues. The building's age (1845) and commercial classification add context to its complex maintenance history, which includes recurring food establishment health inspections and various regulatory requirements that have occasionally resulted in violations.
