60 East 34th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

The four-story, six-unit building at 60 East 34th Street in Midtown, owned by Joshua Salon, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with documented complaints in both October and November 2024 that were temporarily resolved upon inspection. The building, constructed in 1925, has had several maintenance issues over the past few years, including notable violations in 2018 involving a water leak and ceiling problems in apartment 2F, along with paint and plaster issues.

More recent inspections revealed two heating system violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022, though the building has maintained a clean record regarding actual bedbug infestations, with zero cases reported in the annual filings from 2021 through 2023. The building's most recent history includes a December 2024 violation for improper permit posting related to boiler/burner wiring work, which carried a $150 penalty that has been resolved.

Two significant complaints have been recorded with the Department of Buildings: one in 2024 regarding work without a permit, and another in 2021 concerning the certificate of occupancy, though no violations were warranted at the time of inspection in the latter case. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted in 2010, 2011, and 2012, suggesting good pest control practices, and while multiple housing maintenance code violations have been documented since 2018, many of these were resolved within reasonable timeframes. The property's age and history of maintenance issues suggest ongoing attention to building systems is necessary, particularly regarding heat and hot water infrastructure, which appears to be a recurring concern for residents.
