137 East 36th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
137 East 36th Street, a 26-story residential building constructed in 1974 and owned by David May, currently has 108 units in the Murray Hill neighborhood. The property has experienced several recurring issues over the past few years, most notably regarding building maintenance and compliance requirements.
Between 2021 and 2024, there were multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, though recent filings from 2024 show no evidence of infestations, with the most recent reports indicating zero infested dwelling units. The building has also faced challenges with benchmarking report compliance, receiving violations in 2021, 2023, and 2024, though these were ultimately dismissed following proper submission confirmation. Recent service requests in July 2021 concerning flooring and refrigerator issues were closed due to lack of access for inspection.
The building has had several Department of Buildings inspections and complaints regarding its privately owned public space, with the most recent inspection in 2025 confirming compliance. Notably, there is an active violation as of August 2024 related to "swarm conditions." In terms of pest management, the building successfully passed rodent inspections in July 2020 and maintained a bedbug-free status based on recent reports, suggesting improved pest control measures. Additionally, there was one complaint regarding elevator service in 2019, which was found to have no violations upon inspection.
