144 East 22nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10010
144 East 22nd Street, a 1925 6-story New Law Tenement building in Gramercy owned by Adam Parkoff, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past several years. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water outages, with emergency complaints in 2023-2024 regarding entire building systems and individual apartments. Recent concerns, as of 2024-2025, include potential air quality issues with ongoing Department of Health inspections for chemical vapors, and unresolved plumbing issues involving bathtubs/showers.
The elevator system has been a persistent problem, with multiple complaints between 2022-2024 regarding being the only device on the property with no alternate service, though inspections often found no violations or resulted in Oath Violations being served. The building's maintenance history shows various code violations and repairs, including elevator-related issues, fire safety concerns, and periodic rodent activity, though recent rodent inspections in 2025 resulted in "Passed" compliance. Notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past several years, and a routine inspection in 2022 revealed multiple door-related violations that were subsequently addressed. The property has also faced challenges with public safety systems, including a period of non-compliance with the FISP (Facade Inspection Safety Program) requirements in 2023, though previous FISP violations from 2019-2021 were resolved.
The building's documented history shows a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to heating systems and building infrastructure. Recent complaints have focused on plumbing and air quality concerns, while the elevator system has been a consistent source of tenant complaints. The property has successfully addressed various code violations over time, including those related to self-closing doors and fire escape safety, though some issues have required multiple inspection attempts to resolve. The presence of both HPD and DOB violations suggests ongoing oversight is necessary to maintain compliance with housing regulations, though recent inspections have generally resulted in passed or resolved status for many complaints.
