107 East 35th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

107 East 35th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building in Murray Hill, constructed in 1854 and currently owned by Arik Lifshitz. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with significant concerns including multiple heat and hot water outages documented between October and November 2021, and more recently, rodent-related problems.

In August 2024, the building faced two rat sightings that resulted in violations, though a follow-up inspection in March 2025 showed compliance with health standards. The building has also had ongoing issues with garbage and recycling storage, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2023-2024, though most resulted in no violations being found. Recent inspection records from 2024-2025 indicate various maintenance concerns requiring attention, including paint and plaster issues, unsanitary conditions, and plumbing concerns.

Specifically, apartment 1B was cited in January 2024 for multiple violations including defective door issues, plastered surfaces, and water leaks. The building's historical maintenance record shows persistent challenges with infrastructure systems, including multiple inspections and complaints regarding heat/hot water systems in 2021, and earlier boiler-related violations in 2018-2019 that remain active, with associated monetary penalties. Notably, the property has maintained a consistent record of being bedbug-free for the past seven reporting periods (2019-2024), and multiple rat inspections have shown compliance, with only recent activity requiring attention.
