132 East 35th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

The 18-story, 187-unit building at 132 East 35th Street in Murray Hill, owned by Leslie Kahle and completed in 1969, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. The most pressing current concern is an open food poisoning complaint filed with the DOHMH in April 2025. The building has a history of heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints recorded between 2018 and 2024, though many were resolved promptly, sometimes without confirmed violations.

Recent issues include persistent water leakage problems, particularly in apartment 11J as of June 2024, where multiple violations were issued regarding water leaks and damaged plaster/paint surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen areas. The building's infrastructure has faced various challenges, including an indoor air quality complaint in 2021, heavy water leak issues in 2020, and elevator inspection concerns in 2019. Safety systems have also been a focus, with open violations recorded in 2018 regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detector placement in apartment 17C.

The property has undergone several permit-issuing processes for repairs and improvements between 2018 and 2020, though some work was performed without proper permits, resulting in fines. While the building has maintained generally good rodent control, with most inspections passing, there were instances of rat activity noted in 2016 and 2023. The bedbug infestation records show minimal recent activity, with only three units reported affected in 2021, and none reported in the past three years.
