118 East 40th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
The 16-story building at 118 East 40th Street in Murray Hill, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by 118 East 40 LLC, has experienced several notable issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most concerning is an open Class A housing maintenance code violation from April 2024 related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though the building previously reported one infestation case in 2023 that was completed.
The property has a history of regulatory noncompliance, particularly regarding building safety and maintenance requirements, including multiple failures to submit required reports relating to energy efficiency scores and benchmarking between 2020-2022, and a critical exterior wall examination report in December 2022 that incurred a penalty of $1,280. The building's recent history shows a pattern of safety and maintenance compliance issues, particularly in 2024-2025, with four Department of Health and Mental Hygiene food establishment complaints in early 2024 that were all closed or administratively resolved.
Elevator-related violations are notable, with two displayed energy efficiency score violations in 2021-2022 being dismissed, and an inspection in 2019 showing defects requiring correction. The building has undergone several rodent inspections between 2012 and 2025, with two reports of rat activity in 2018 and 2013, though recent inspections have passed. While some violations have been resolved or dismissed, the continued pattern of reporting issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance and energy efficiency documentation, suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance.
