104 East 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

104 East 30th Street is a four-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1920 in Midtown, currently owned by Nicolas Bermeo. The building experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2022, with multiple complaints filed between January and February of that year, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These incidents resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting Apartment 2, where inadequate heat and hot water was documented.

Other building-wide violations included issues with the heating system's basement access and various self-closing door problems in different apartments. Additionally, there were general maintenance concerns identified in January 2022, including a leaking roof in the fourth-story public hall and a defective stair tread. The building underwent some construction modifications in 2018, during which several Department of Buildings violations were recorded regarding unauthorized work related to kitchen exhaust systems, though these were subsequently resolved without penalties.

Recent records indicate that the building has maintained a bedbug-free status since 2020, with zero infested units reported in annual filings up to December 2024. While a rodent inspection conducted in March 2020 found rat activity, this followed several consecutive years of passing inspections from 2010 through 2016. It's worth noting that there were limited access issues encountered during some inspections, as evidenced by both 311 complaints and Department of Buildings investigations.
