31 East 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

31 East 30th Street is a 5-story, 13-unit residential building located in Midtown, Manhattan, and built in 1925. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent emergency complaint in February 2023 affecting the entire building, and several similar complaints documented throughout 2019, including instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify conditions. The building has also faced pest-related challenges, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions due to pests in early 2019, and rodent activity documented in inspections from 2018 through 2022.

Multiple violations and complaints indicate past maintenance concerns, including a water leak in late 2018, appliance issues, and various housing maintenance code violations. Recent inspections have shown some progress in addressing these issues, with the building management filing bedbug reports from 2022-2025 showing zero infested units. However, the property has active violations as of April 2023 related to failure to file required high-pressure inspection reports for both internal and external systems.

Historical violations from 2018-2019 regarding maintenance of the building's facilities and hygiene were documented, including issues with a bathtub, radiator, garbage accumulation, and heating system access. Notably, there were also building shake/vibration complaints in July 2018 that required inspection, and a Certificate of Occupancy-related complaint in November 2019, though inspections did not warrant violation issuance. The building's record shows a pattern of addressing but recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding building systems and pest control, though recent bedbug reporting suggests improved conditions in that specific area.
