146 East 39th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
The five-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement building at 146 East 39th Street in Murray Hill, owned by Persepolis Development LLC, was constructed in 1900 and has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most prominently, there has been an ongoing concern with heat and hot water systems, evidenced by multiple complaints between 2021 and 2022, including a notable pattern of interruptions in service during winter months.
The building is currently facing an open complaint from January 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, marking a concerning maintenance trend. Previous violations include problematic hot water temperatures in Apartment 5A (2021) and an unresolved violation from March 2023 regarding the heating system's keyholder notice placement. The building's plumbing systems have been another frequent source of issues, with emergency complaints recorded in both 2019 and 2021.
While the property has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, as evidenced by multiple annual filings showing no infestations from 2020 through 2024, there is a current bedbug violation from March 2023 regarding the annual report filing. However, recent inspections have shown positive results, including a rodent inspection in March 2025 that passed. The building's history of violations and complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems essential to resident comfort such as heat, hot water, and plumbing infrastructure, though some recent improvements in pest management and rodent control have been noted.
