215 East 23rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10010

215 East 23rd Street is a 16-story Class A residential building built in 2001 in the Kips Bay neighborhood, currently owned by Robert Gershon. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating systems throughout its history, with emergency heat/hot water complaints documented in both 2018 and 2020, though investigations found no violations in 2018 and confirmed corrections in 2020. The building has faced several regulatory compliance challenges regarding energy efficiency reporting, with violations for failure to file required benchmarking reports in 2019 and December 2021, though these were ultimately dismissed or confirmed as submitted.

A concerning pattern emerged in 2024, with two safety-related complaints regarding site conditions and safety net/guard rail issues, though inspections found no violations at that time. The building's recent maintenance history shows a mixed record of pest management and general upkeep. While there have been no documented bedbug infestations in the last seven reporting periods (2020-2025), the building did report one infested unit in the 2024 filing period.

Rodent inspections have produced variable results, with a 'Passed' rating in 2025 but 'Failed for Other Reasons' noted in two inspections in 2022. Historical inspection records from 2016-2020 show consistent 'Passed' results for rodent inspections during that earlier period. The building's 311 service request history is notably limited, with only two heat-related complaints in the last five years. Recent site inspections have not identified any major safety violations or maintenance concerns, though the building's history of heating system issues and periodic regulatory compliance matters warrant attention.
