226 East 26th Street, Manhattan, NY 10010
226 East 26th Street is a 5-story, 22-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Kips Bay, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Kenneth Mangual. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being two open emergency complaints from May 2025 regarding water leaks and unsanitary sewage conditions. The building's maintenance history shows persistent plumbing and sanitation challenges, including a closed water supply complaint from November 2024, an entire building heat/hot water issue from August 2024, and a refrigerator-related complaint from June 2024.
In 2023, there were also concerns about pests, flooring issues, and various infrastructural problems. The building has undergone multiple inspections and received several violations over the years. Notable violations include issues with smoke detectors, self-closing doors, and ceiling conditions in Apartment 1D (2022) and problems with electrical outlets and waste lines in Apartments 1A and 2B (2019).
There have been recurring rodent activity inspections, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 showing rat activity, though a compliance inspection in May 2025 passed. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record in recent years, with no reported infestations between 2021-2024. The building has also had some regulatory compliance issues, including a failure to maintain proper building security hardware in 2019, for which a $1,250 fine was imposed and later resolved. Despite these ongoing maintenance challenges, the building has shown some improvement, as evidenced by recent successful rodent inspections and the resolution of many previous violations.
