56 East 34th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

56 East 34th Street is a 5-story, 4-unit residential building located in Midtown, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Mahrokh Eshaghian. The property has experienced several notable events in recent years, with the most recent being a water supply issue in March 2025 that prompted an HPD inspection attempt, though the inspection could not be completed.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management compliance, with all annual reports from 2019 to 2024 showing zero infested units, and no bedbug treatments required. There was a significant incident in 2020 involving an illegal occupancy situation, where the Manhattan Laser Spa was found operating on the 2nd floor contrary to building records, resulting in a violation that was resolved with no penalties. The Department of Health has conducted multiple inspections of food establishments associated with the building between 2021 and 2025, documenting issues such as food contamination and foreign objects, though these were resolved through normal inspection processes.

Plumbing issues have been relatively minimal, with the most recent being the March 2025 incident and a prior water supply complaint in 2022 that was addressed. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, and 2012, indicating effective pest management in the past. While there were two identical Housing Maintenance Code Violation notices in 2021 regarding bedbug reporting requirements, these appear to have been addressed as subsequent filings show compliance.
