51 Irving Place, Manhattan, NY 10003
51 Irving Place is a 7-story, 56-unit residential building located in Gramercy, constructed in 1969 and currently owned by Rina Blaku. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing current concerns being an open water leak with heavy flow (as of April 2025) and unresolved janitorial/superintendent complaints (March 2025). There have been multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building throughout 2025, with several instances where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.
The building has also faced challenges with pest control, as indicated by multiple rodent activity reports between 2021 and 2023, though regular baiting was conducted in 2023. Numerous violations have been documented, including four active ECB violations from 2021 related to unauthorized work, including interior demolition, electrical work, and plumbing modifications, with penalties totaling $18,750. The building's fire safety systems have been a concern, with violations noted for defective self-closing doors in 2022 and 2023.
Recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, including issues with building systems and basic services. While the building has maintained a zero-incident record for bedbugs in recent reports (2022-2024), the frequency of heating, plumbing, and maintenance issues suggests ongoing concerns with building systems and management responsiveness. The property has a documented history of violations related to illegal hotel rooms, excessive debris, and work without proper permits, with various complaints resulting in referrals to other city agencies.
