120 East 36th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

120 East 36th Street is a 13-story, 95-unit residential building in Murray Hill, constructed in 1955 and currently owned by Fitore Berisha. The building has experienced several significant issues recently, particularly in June 2023, when multiple violations were recorded regarding suspended scaffold safety.

There were active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to a scaffold malfunction that occurred between the 4th and 3rd floors, with penalties totaling $14,750 imposed on SM Construction USA Inc and other parties for inadequate safety measures and failure to provide qualified personnel during the incident. Additionally, there were several Department of Buildings (DOB) violations in October 2023 regarding the failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous ECB violations, though these were later dismissed. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to pest control, with zero bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, as evidenced by the regular bedbug reporting filings, the most recent in February 2025.

The property has also maintained a good record on rodent inspections, passing all inspections conducted from 2010 through 2025. However, there are currently active DOB violations from 2020 regarding failure to file benchmarking reports of energy use, and violations from 2021 are still listed as active. While the building has demonstrated effective pest and rodent management, the recent scaffold safety incidents and the outstanding benchmarking violations suggest areas requiring ongoing attention, though it's worth noting that the most recent bedbug report shows no infestations for the current reporting period.
