39A Gramercy Park North, Manhattan, NY 10010

39A Gramercy Park North is a 6-story, 23-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Mitchel Maidman. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most recent violations related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2022 and 2023, both classified as active violations as of September 2024. In 2022, there were documented structural concerns, including damage to lobby walls, stairway, and interior walls of apartment 2C, with reported step and vertical cracks.

During the same year, there were two complaints about building shaking/vibrating that resulted in building violations, though one was found to not warrant violation at the time of inspection. The building has a history of various maintenance violations, particularly affecting units 4A and 5B between 2012-2016, primarily involving issues with bathrooms, including plaster damage, water leaks, and plumbing problems. A significant number of Housing Maintenance Code violations were addressed in 2021, while earlier violations from 2014 included unsafe electrical wiring conditions in the lobby.

The elevator system has also faced challenges, with an active violation from 2019 related to unresolved defects. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past three years (2021-2025) with no reported cases. Rodent inspections have generally shown compliance, though there were some failures noted in 2014, with the most recent inspection in 2025 passing successfully. The building's maintenance record shows both recurring issues and some improvement, with many historical violations having been resolved, though several active violations remain as of 2024-2025.
