153 East 32nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

The 16-story building at 153 East 32nd Street in Kips Bay, owned by Vito Sacchetti, has a documented history of pest-related issues, particularly during 2024, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions associated with pests filed between March and September 2024. While inspections were conducted, no violations were issued for these complaints, and the building has consistently filed annual bedbug reports showing zero infested units since 2021.

The building's infrastructure has required attention over the years, with plumbing issues (including water supply and bathtub/shower problems) recorded in 2018, and exterior maintenance concerns were noted in a 2019 violation regarding cracked window lintels and stucco damage. Three illegal conversion complaints were filed between 2018 and 2025, though inspections either found no violations or the inspector was unable to gain access. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent successful inspection in March 2025, and there have been no significant rodent-related complaints.

Various violations were resolved or dismissed over time, including a 2021 bedbug reporting violation, and two security-related postings were required in 2018 regarding gas leak procedures and heating system access. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to complaints, as evidenced by the closure of multiple housing maintenance code violations, though some inspection access issues were noted. Most recent inspections and filings show active compliance with housing maintenance requirements, including maintaining updated bedbug reporting and passing environmental control board requirements.
