31 East 37th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

The 18-story, 131-unit building at 31 East 37th Street in Murray Hill, constructed in 1940 and currently owned by Sandra Castellano, has experienced several significant events over the past few years that warrant attention. Most notably, there are currently four active violations (as of June 2023) related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021.

The building underwent facade renovation work in 2019, which resulted in multiple construction safety violations against MC Contracting NY Corp, including issues with scaffold safety, inadequate safety measures, and failure to maintain required documents, though these violations were ultimately resolved with various penalties. The building has maintained a good record regarding pest management, with bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units each year.

Recent rodent inspections in March 2025, as well as previous inspections in 2018, 2020, and others, have generally passed, with only two instances of rat activity noted in 2011 and 2016. A water leak incident was reported and resolved in November 2019, and while there have been multiple housing maintenance complaints and service requests over the years, most have been addressed promptly. The building has also shown consistent maintenance of permits for various work, particularly in 2020-2022, including multiple emergency work permits, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the records provided.
