224 East 27th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
224 East 27th Street is a five-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Kips Bay, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Yakov Balakhovsky. The most recent significant issue at the property occurred in April 2025, when there was an emergency heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, which was promptly addressed and closed within two days by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
The building has maintained a strong record regarding pest control, with bedbug inspections showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units reported annually from 2019 through 2024. Recent rodent inspections present a mixed picture: while the most recent April 2025 inspection passed, there was a failure noted in March 2020 for rat activity, though this was the only such incident recorded in the past decade.
Prior to 2020 and following that incident, the building consistently passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2014 and 2018. The property, which falls under the Old Law Tenement classification, has shown generally good maintenance practices, with the most recent heat and hot water issue being the only significant building-wide complaint in recent years, and which was resolved to the satisfaction of housing authorities.
