135 East 39th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
135 East 39th Street is a 6-story, 29-unit Class A multiple dwelling building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Melissa Cafiero. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably concerning the elevator system and water supply infrastructure. The building suffered elevator-related problems in late 2024, including an accident, structural concerns, and motor room flooding, which led to active violations and penalties.
Multiple elevator violations were recorded in December 2024, including damage to the 6th-floor hoistway door and water-related issues affecting electrical equipment. The building has a documented history of water supply problems, with numerous plumbing complaints filed between 2020 and 2023, though most were resolved without violations being issued. The building's maintenance history also reveals various safety and regulatory compliance issues. In 2022, the building received violations related to fire safety equipment and door maintenance.
A cluster of safety violations from 2020-2023 involved missing or defective self-closing doors, and several administrative violations were recorded concerning required safety signage for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures. Despite these issues, the building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with no reported infestations in recent years (2019-2024). Rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2016, though there were some baiting activities recorded in 2018. The building has undergone regular tenant safety inspections in 2023-2024, with most resulting in no violations being found.
