151 East 26th Street, Manhattan, NY 10010
151 East 26th Street is a 6-story, 24-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 in Kips Bay, currently owned by Richard Podpirka. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2024, with multiple complaints filed between January and December 2024, all involving the entire building and marked as emergencies. While some complaints were resolved with heat and hot water restoration confirmed by tenants, several others faced access issues during inspections.
In late 2024, the building received three violations related to the vestibule door security, specifically regarding an illegal dual motion electromagnetic lock, for which corrections were certified in December 2024. Earlier, in December 2023, a heating violation was documented for apartment 1B, and a C-class violation noted a missing or defective self-closing door at the laundry room. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all filings from 2019 to the present showing zero infested units.
Recent rodent inspections (most recent in April 2025) have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management. A current active complaint from June 2025 regarding the elevator's single device/no alternate service is pending resolution. The building has demonstrated compliance with many housing regulations, though the recurring heating issues throughout 2024 represent the most significant ongoing concern, with multiple complaints indicating persistent system challenges.
