124 East 37th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

The four-unit, four-story building at 124 East 37th Street in Murray Hill, built in 1869 and currently owned by Edouard De Bernis, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in August 2024, there was a complaint about unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, though no violations were found upon inspection and the case was closed in September 2024. The building faced significant heat and hot water issues in February 2022, with multiple complaints indicating both apartment-specific and building-wide problems.

While some of these complaints couldn't be investigated due to access issues, the emergency nature of these complaints warrants attention. A concerning incident was recorded in May 2021 regarding the Certificate of Occupancy, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the inspection. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to pest control, with inspections conducted from 2013 through 2025.

Of particular note, 2017 saw multiple baiting interventions, though subsequent inspections in 2018, 2020, and 2025 all passed successfully. Two emergency work permits were issued in June 2024, suggesting recent maintenance activity. The building's rodent inspection records indicate a generally improving situation, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 passing, following several years of successful pest management efforts. While there have been various maintenance issues, the building has generally responded to complaints and undergone regular inspections, with recent permits indicating ongoing maintenance attention.
