72 Irving Place, Manhattan, NY 10003

72 Irving Place is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building located in Gramercy, constructed in 1866 and currently owned by Brandon Aryeh. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints recorded between December 2020 and January 2021, including several instances where Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspectors were unable to gain access for inspection. During the same period, there were multiple complaints regarding cooking gas issues and an electric/gas range problem, all of which were resulted in violations.

The building has also been subject to various safety violations, notably in 2021, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 5B, and door self-closing mechanism issues, which were subsequently corrected. Recent inspections show compliance in bedbug reporting, with no infestations reported in the past four filing periods (2024, 2023, 2022, 2021). The building has maintained a passing record in rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing compliance.

Two significant incidents occurred in early 2021 regarding work without permits, resulting in violations and a $2,500 penalty for tampering with a stop work order. While these issues have been resolved, the building had four consecutive years of requiring annual bedbug reporting compliance (2021-2024) which was properly addressed through all reporting periods. The current status of the building shows no active violations related to bedbugs or heating systems, with the most recent inspection focusing on rodent control passing successfully.
