181 East 28th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

The 22-story, 43-unit residential building at 181 East 28th Street in Kips Bay, owned by Alex Forkosh, was completed in 2019 and has experienced several notable events since its construction. Most recently, in February 2023, multiple tenants reported heat and hot water issues, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to access units for verification.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past four years (2021-2024), and passed rodent inspections consistently from 2010 to 2025. The property, which has generated multiple complaints over the years, including egress issues and construction-related concerns, has generally demonstrated prompt attention to violations. Notable incidents include a series of permit-related violations regarding construction equipment in 2020-2021, and an OSHA training violation with a $5,000 penalty in 2019 that was resolved.

The building was particularly active in 2020, with several inspections and complaints related to construction activity, including issues with debris, after-hours work, and sidewalk shed conditions. More recently, in 2023, the building received violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections, though these were dismissed in October 2023. Despite these issues, the building's overall maintenance record shows consistent efforts to address violations, with most being resolved or dismissed through proper channels.
