201 Park Avenue South, Manhattan, NY 10003

The 20-story building at 201 Park Avenue South in Gramercy, owned by Jeffrey Clark, has been in operation since 1911 and has experienced several notable events over recent years. The building, which is classified as a Class B property, has consistently demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections, passing five consecutive inspections between 2010 and 2019.

However, there are several significant open violations that warrant attention, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports since 2021, which remain unresolved as of 2024. The building has also faced recurring issues with energy efficiency compliance, with multiple violations between 2022 and 2025 regarding the failure to file benchmarking reports, submit energy efficiency ratings, and display required energy information. These violations were ultimately dismissed, though they indicate previous non-compliance.

The property has a documented 311 service request from May 2022 related to a food establishment permit issue, which was resolved approximately two years later, and two Department of Buildings complaints—one regarding illegal after-hours work in 2021 and another in 2024 that did not warrant any violations upon inspection. While most of the building's recent history involves administrative and compliance matters rather than safety concerns, the pattern of open bedbug reporting violations and energy efficiency compliance issues suggests ongoing challenges with meeting regulatory requirements. The building's permit history shows the issuance of two permits in 2019 and 2020, one for exterior work and the other for equipment-related modifications, both of which were properly processed through the Department of Buildings system.
