111 East 39th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

111 East 39th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building in Murray Hill, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Shuhui Zeng. The building's recent history is marked by some notable concerns for resident comfort, particularly regarding heat and hot water infrastructure. Most recently, in February 2025, there was an emergency complaint about lack of heat and hot water throughout the building, though housing inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

This was not an isolated incident; the building has experienced similar heating issues in the past, including a documented incident in 2018, suggesting possible recurring problems with the building's heating system. The building has maintained a generally positive record in other health and safety aspects. It has passed all five rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2025, with a notable exception in March 2025 when it failed an initial inspection for "Other Reasons." However, it subsequently passed a compliance inspection in April 2025.

The property has shown exemplary management of bedbug incidents, with no reported infestations or related issues over the past five reporting periods from 2021 through 2024. An unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage and recycling storage was filed in September 2018, but following an HPD inspection, no violations were found. An administrative violation was issued in April 2021 regarding the annual bedbug report filing, though this appears to have been resolved since no further issues have been noted in subsequent filings.
