149 East 33rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

149 East 33rd Street is a 3-story, 7-unit residential building in Kips Bay, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by 149 E 33rd Street Llc. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, particularly around mid-2022 when a series of pest-related complaints were filed, resulting in both open and closed violations including an active Class C violation for a mouse infestation in apartment 2F, violations related to carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements, and issues with the self-closing vestibule doors.

In late 2022, structural concerns were raised with reports of building shaking and vertical cracks in stucco and brick walls, resulting in an active Environmental Control Board violation with a $625 penalty. More recent incidents include a plumbing issue in June 2024, which was promptly addressed and closed. The building has maintained a consistent record of successful rodent inspections from 2009 through 2025, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 passing without issues.

Notably, the building has demonstrated effective bedbug management over multiple years, with no reported infestations in the past six reporting periods from 2019-2024. There was a concerning pattern of heat and hot water complaints in late 2018, though these were primarily due to access issues preventing inspections. Currently, there are multiple open violations related to safety notifications and systems in common areas, including carbon monoxide detection requirements and emergency procedures.
