137 East 28th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
137 East 28th Street, a 10-story New Law Tenement built in 1927 and containing 37 units in Kips Bay, has a mixed record of building maintenance and compliance over recent years. Most notably, there are two active Department of Buildings violations from December 2021 related to the failure to display the mandated energy efficiency score and grade, though these are not unique violations, as similar issues were documented in April 2021.
While there was a Housing Maintenance Code violation in February 2022 regarding bedbug reporting, the building has maintained an excellent pest control record since then, with all subsequent bedbug reports from 2022 through May 2025 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. The building's rodent inspection history is also exemplary, with seven consecutive passing inspections from 2010 through 2025.
Several permits were issued in 2019 for various work including exterior restoration, sign installation, and plumbing improvements, indicating proper maintenance of the building's infrastructure. The most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 passed, continuing the building's strong track record in this area.
