6 East 36th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

The 5-story, 8-unit building at 6 East 36th Street in Midtown, owned by Manuel Lorenzo, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a ventilation-related indoor air quality complaint in July 2024 that prompted city health department intervention, and an electrical outlet/switch issue in December 2023 that required HPD involvement.

The building has also faced compliance issues regarding annual bedbug reporting, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, though recent filings indicate no current infestations, with the most recent 2025 report showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Two DOB violations from 2019 and 2020 were dismissed in 2022 based on evidence of corrected defects, and a more recent ventilation-related violation from July 2024 resulted in an Oath violation served in March 2025. The building's historical records show consistent rodent inspection compliance between 2010 and 2012, with all inspections passing.

While the property has experienced various maintenance issues over the past few years, most complaints have been addressed and closed, with the exception of the most recent ventilation-related concerns. The building's age (constructed in 1910) and prior history as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" property suggest it has undergone various modifications and updates over time, typical of many older NYC buildings. The property shows a pattern of timely response to most violations and complaints, though some issues have required multiple interventions before resolution.
