222 East 24th Street, Manhattan, NY 10010

222 East 24th Street is a 6-story, 12-unit residential building located in Kips Bay and built in 1900, currently owned by Kosha Diaz. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during 2018-2020, including multiple complaints and violations related to water leaks, ceiling paint/plaster problems, floor conditions, and pest infestations. Notable incidents include an emergency water leak complaint in August 2018, repeated issues with ceiling paint/plaster in August 2018, and a plumbing water supply problem in January 2020, though inspections typically found no violations.

The building has also undergone three Bedbug reporting periods (2019-2024) with no reported infestations, and has passed all rodent inspections since 2010, most recently in April 2025. The property has had three separate violations (2020-2023) regarding failure to file annual inspection reports, though these were later dismissed. Other notable safety concerns have included a fire egress issue in Apartment 5B (2018) and problems with a scaffold installation (2018), which resulted in a $2,500 penalty.

Recent building maintenance has focused on resolving violations related to water leaks and fire safety deficiencies, with most issues being addressed and closed. The building underwent its most recent Bedbug inspection in December 2024, reporting zero infested units, and has maintained compliance with rodent control measures. While the building has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the years, the most recent records suggest improved conditions, with no major recent violations or complaints and all active violations having been addressed or dismissed.
