14 East 23rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10010

The 4-story, 6-unit building at 14 East 23rd Street in the Flatiron District, owned by Heidi Benetos, has experienced several notable incidents over recent years, with particular attention needed on some recent health-related matters. The building's most pressing current issue is a Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file 2021 external low-pressure inspection records, which remains active as of the latest data.

In terms of recent health and safety concerns, there have been recurring food establishment complaints filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) between 2018 and 2022, including issues with food worker hygiene and foreign objects in food, though all these complaints were administratively closed. A brief heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building was reported and resolved in November 2021, and while there was a bedbug violation in 2021 requiring an annual report, the building has maintained a clean record since, with the most recent bedbug filings (2024 and 2023) showing no infested units or eradication needed. The building's overall maintenance history appears relatively stable, with routine rodent inspections showing consistent compliance from 2010 through 2022, and no reported rodent issues.

An investigation into illegal hotel rooms in 2018 did not result in any findings, as inspectors were unable to gain access. While the building has had various food establishment complaints over the years, these appear to be related to a specific business rather than the residential portion of the building, and all have been resolved. The property has demonstrated proper reporting and eradication procedures for bedbugs when necessary, with no infestations reported in recent years.
