151 East 33rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

151 East 33rd Street is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building located in Kips Bay and owned by Pearl Tam, dating back to 1910 and classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most notable problems occurring in 2021.

That year saw multiple complaints, including emergency heat and hot water problems in January that were resolved within one day, followed by door/wall issues and unsanitary conditions related to pests in August, with the latter two incidents taking longer to resolve. The Department of Buildings also recorded two complaints in August 2021, one regarding unlicensed plumbing work (which found no violations upon inspection) and another concerning possible illegal conversion, though the inspector was unable to gain access despite multiple attempts. The building's maintenance history shows recurring pest-related issues, with three separate incidents reported between 2018 and 2021.

These included two non-emergency pest complaints in September 2018, and the August 2021 pest complaint that was classified as non-emergency but potentially more serious given the pattern of previous infestations. More recently, there appear to be no recorded complaints or violations since 2021, suggesting a possible improvement in maintenance conditions over the past two years. The property has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, particularly in 2021 when multiple issues were reported within a short timeframe, though many of these complaints were addressed and closed by the appropriate regulatory agencies.
