166 East 34th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
The 20-story, 217-unit residential building at 166 East 34th Street, owned by Donald Zucker and constructed in 1975, has experienced a series of significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there was a pattern of heating and hot water service disruptions across the entire building in early 2023, with multiple emergency complaints filed between February and March 2023 documenting these systematic failures, though each was ultimately resolved.
More recently, in 2024, there were complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests that could not be inspected due to access issues, and the building received violations in April 2024 related to not filing the required annual bedbug report and for an unmaintained street number display. The building's maintenance history also reveals ongoing challenges with rodent control, as evidenced by multiple inspections between 2020-2022 showing rat activity, though a March 2025 inspection passed.
There have been several construction-related issues and compliance matters, particularly concerning the building's privately owned public space (POPS) between 2019 and 2024, with multiple active violations including an October 2024 penalty of $5,030 for the POPS site being occupied by unauthorized tables and chairs. The building's bedbug monitoring records show one infestation in 2022-2023, with no units reported as infested in the most recent 2023-2024 filing. Additionally, there were multiple elevator-related violations recorded in 2021 that were subsequently resolved, and various permits have been issued between 2018 and 2019 for maintenance and repair work, suggesting ongoing attention to building systems and infrastructure.
