148 East 38th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

The five-story building at 148 East 38th Street in Murray Hill, owned by Luis Padua, was constructed in 1900 and currently operates as a converted Class A building. The property has an extensive history of bedbug report filing violations, with open violations documented in four consecutive years from 2021 through 2024, specifically citing failure to submit the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

These persistent violations could indicate ongoing challenges with building management's compliance to health and safety regulations, particularly regarding pest management protocols. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rat inspections, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 showing compliance.

This follows a long history of passed rodent inspections dating back to 2010, suggesting good overall building sanitation and maintenance in this area. The only recorded 311 service request was in February 2022 regarding a face covering violation, which was promptly addressed and closed the following day. While the building has demonstrated good performance in rodent control, the recurring bedbug report violations represent the most significant ongoing compliance issue, with no records indicating these violations have been addressed or resolved as of April 2024.
