28 East 38th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
The five-story building at 28 East 38th Street in Murray Hill, owned by Jennifer Cruz, has been through various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1900. Most notably, there were two significant heat and hot water issues in early 2019, one affecting the entire building and another specific to individual apartments, though these were resolved within weeks.
An important Department of Buildings plumbing violation from September 2018 remains active, regarding the revocation of approvals and permits due to the suspension of a master plumber's license, though a subsequent violation from February 2020 was resolved in August 2021. The building has maintained a good track record with bedbug reporting, showing zero infestations between 2019 and 2024, and passed its most recent rodent inspection in March 2025, continuing a pattern of successful pest management demonstrated in prior years (with the exception of bait application in 2015).
An administrative smoking violation from October 2018 was addressed and closed. While the building has experienced some maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, recent years have shown improved conditions with comprehensive pest management practices and no recurring infestation issues.
