226 East 27th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
226 East 27th Street is a five-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by James Walsh and located in Kips Bay. The building has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, with particular concerns around maintenance compliance and pest management.
Most notably, there are multiple active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 related to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018-2022, indicating potential safety concerns with the building's external systems. The building has also been subject to consistent bedbug reporting violations from 2021-2024, though recent filings (most recently in May 2024) indicate no infested units during the reporting period of November 2022 to October 2023.
The property has experienced persistent rodent issues, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing mixed results - a passed compliance inspection in May 2025 followed by an initial inspection in April 2025 showing rat activity. Historical rodent inspections between 2018 and 2021 show a pattern of rodent activity requiring bait application in multiple instances, particularly in mid-2018 and early 2021, suggesting ongoing challenges with pest control. The building's maintenance record reflects both some improved reporting compliance (as seen in the more recent bedbug reports) as well as areas requiring attention, particularly regarding the missed external low-pressure inspections which remain active violations as of June 2023.
