141 East 36th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

141 East 36th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Caroline Egle Chari. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with a particularly significant cluster of problems occurring in late 2022.

During December 2022, multiple violations were documented by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including issues with the ventilation system, water leaks, unsanitary mold conditions, plumbing problems, and various complications involving flooring, walls, ceilings, and windows. Specifically, Apartment 4F was the focus of multiple violations requiring repairs to plaster surfaces, paint work, and problems with the roof leading to leaks, all of which were eventually certified as corrected by January 2023. The building's recent history shows a mix of maintenance and compliance challenges, including a significant plumbing issue in November 2022, and more recent concerns regarding door/window conditions in September 2023.

The Department of Buildings (DOB) records show inspections related to electrical wiring, vent/exhaust systems, and work without permits, with all investigations resulting in either compliance or no violations being warranted. Environmental Control Board violations from 2020 and 2022 indicate past concerns about electrical equipment and construction compliance, though these were resolved without penalties. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past seven years, and recent rodent inspections have been passed, though a rat activity notice was recorded in March 2020.
