111 East 38th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
111 East 38th Street is a 4-story, 20-unit building in Murray Hill, constructed in 1865 and currently owned by Paul Moeller. The building has experienced several maintenance issues recently, most notably a cluster of eight open complaints filed in June 2025, including problems with signage, unsanitary conditions, plumbing issues related to sinks, pest infestations, garbage/recycling storage, and appliance concerns.
The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections in March and May 2025 confirming this issue, while previous inspections from 2011 through 2018 had shown no such problems. There were multiple Department of Buildings complaints in 2023 regarding work without permits and violations of stop work orders, with the most significant being an active ECB violation from November 2023 related to tampering with a stop work order, carrying a $12,500 penalty. The building has shown some improvement in certain areas, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past three years, as evidenced by consistent reporting of zero affected units between 2022 and 2024.
A set of violations from September 2023 regarding defective self-closing fire doors on multiple floors was appropriately closed in October 2023, though there remains an active violation for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. Previous maintenance issues recorded in 2023-2024 included problems with water leaks, wall conditions, and fire safety features, all of which have either been resolved or remain under inspection. The building's age and history suggest regular maintenance is necessary, though the recent spate of complaints in 2025 indicates some current challenges with property management and maintenance response times.
