222 East 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

222 East 17th Street is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building located in Gramercy, constructed in 1853 and currently owned by Rory Donaldson. The property has experienced various maintenance issues throughout its history, with the most recent significant violation occurring in 2021 regarding bedbug reporting requirements, which has since been closed.

The building has an extensive history of violations from the 1980s, including problems with water leaks, heating, and bathroom fixtures in Apartment 2F, as well as a lack of smoke detection devices in Apartment 2R, inadequate bathroom lighting, and issues with household articles blocking public hallways. While these older violations were not explicitly marked as resolved in the available data, more recent records suggest improved maintenance practices. The building has maintained a good track record in terms of pest control and sanitation in recent years.

All bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show no infestation cases, and the most recent rodent inspection from January 2025 passed successfully. Previous rodent inspections dating back to 2010 have all indicated compliance, further suggesting effective building management and maintenance practices in recent times. The regular filing of bedbug reports and passing rodent inspections indicates proper attention to pest control and sanitation matters, though the lengthy history of maintenance violations from the 1980s suggests that historical building systems may be outdated, despite recent improvements in overall maintenance.
