36 East 22nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10010

36 East 22nd Street is a 9-story, 8-unit commercial building constructed in 1901, currently owned by Ashley Finnikin. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly evident in 2024 when multiple emergency complaints were filed and inspections were unable to gain access to verify conditions. There have also been persistent pest-related problems, with inspections in 2024 and 2023 noting unsanitary conditions.

The building's heating system continued to be an issue in 2024, with multiple complaints clustering around January 2024. More recently, in late 2024, there was a food establishment-related complaint involving pet/animal issues that was closed by the NYC Health Department. The building has numerous open violations as of 2024, particularly in apartment 2A, including problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system and self-closing doors. There are several open violations from mid-2023 regarding required safety notices and garbage disposal compliance.

Historical records show a pattern of garbage storage violations in 2022 and vent/exhaust issues from 2020-2021, as well as some environmental control board violations related to mechanical exhaust systems in 2021. The building has maintained an excellent record for pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported over the past several years and consistent passing rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2014. Multiple equipment permits for plumbing and electrical work were issued between 2018 and 2019, suggesting regular maintenance and improvements to building systems. The building's management has shown responsiveness to some violations, as evidenced by several being closed following inspection, though multiple open violations remain as of the most recent records.
