The 15-story, 112-unit building at 166 East 35th Street, owned by Alex Kuffel and constructed in 1957, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water problems reported between 2022 and 2024, including a February 2024 violation concerning excessively hot water (over 130 degrees) in apartment 5B. The building has also faced challenges with garbage/recycling storage conditions, with inspections in 2022 and 2023 showing issues that required attention, though no violations were officially cited.
The property underwent facade restoration work in 2024, which led to several Department of Buildings violations related to construction safety compliance, particularly concerning scaffold installation and equipment specifications, with fines totaling $3,750. In terms of pest management, the building has had sporadic bedbug incidents, with reported infestations in 2024 and 2023, though these were successfully eradicated according to the records. The building's rodent inspections from 2020-2025 show a mix of results, with recent inspections in 2021 showing rat activity and the most recent inspection in 2025 passing.
The building's safety and compliance records indicate ongoing attention to basic maintenance requirements, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations addressed through inspections and repairs. These include issues with door hardware and various safety notices that required posting in common areas. The property has generally responded to complaints and violations, with most issues being resolved through appropriate channels, though some historical violations date back to 2018-2019. Recent Department of Buildings actions in 2025 included a complaint about wall conditions, which resulted in an Oath Violation being served.
