147 East 37th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

The four-story, two-unit building at 147 East 37th Street in Murray Hill, owned by Justin Zizes, has a mixed record of maintenance and compliance since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the building has consistently demonstrated good pest management practices, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years (2021-2025) and successful completion of annual bedbug reports as required by HPD.

The property has maintained a strong track record in rodent inspections, passing all eight inspections conducted between 2010 and 2025. The building experienced some significant issues in 2020, including plumbing problems that led to a violation and a $1,250 penalty related to a gas water heater installation in a mixed-use building.

These violations prompted further scrutiny, resulting in a subsequent violation for failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition, though this was later downgraded. In 2021 and 2022, the building received violations for not filing annual bedbug reports, though these were ultimately closed. Since then, there have been no major building violations or complaints on record, and the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 was passed, indicating ongoing compliance with health and safety standards.
