142 East 27th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
142 East 27th Street is a 7-story, 42-unit old law tenement building located in Kips Bay, built in 1930 and currently owned by Michael Felice. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being related to heat and safety. In 2023, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, including an emergency situation in February that resulted in violations for excessive hot water temperatures in apartment 7D (exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit), inadequate heat supply, and various safety concerns including a broken window guard, defective smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector issues.
The building's elevator system has also been a recurring problem, with multiple complaints between 2018-2022 about single device service and other operational issues that resulted in violations. More recently, in September 2023, there were violations related to unauthorized gas line installations for commercial dryers in the basement, though these were resolved with penalties. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2021-2024, consistently showing zero infested or re-infested units.
Rodent inspections have generally passed, with the most recent one in April 2025 showing compliance. The building's history shows some ongoing maintenance challenges, including unsanitary conditions in garbage storage areas (2022), ventilation system issues (2023), and various plumbing and infrastructure concerns. While many violations have been closed or resolved, there are currently two active violations related to failure to file inspection certifications from 2018-2020. The owner has made various permit applications for work on the building, with the most recent permits issued in 2020 for electrical and plumbing work.
