245 East 30th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
The 30-unit, 6-story building at 245 East 30th Street in Kips Bay, owned by Daniel Hochberg, has experienced several significant maintenance and health concerns in recent years. Most notably, in March 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene confirmed rat activity on the property, with previous inspections showing rodent issues in 2024 and 2025. The building has endured multiple heating and hot water system failures during 2024, including entire building outages in June 2024.
There are currently open violations from August 2024 related to apartment 2, including issues with water leaks, pest infestation (cockroaches), and various maintenance problems. The property has a history of building code compliance issues, with an active ECB violation from 2024 regarding unpermitted construction work, and past violations for illegal electrical work and safety code breaches. The building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with its infrastructure, including plumbing issues, ventilation system concerns, and various system failures.
In June 2024 alone, multiple heat and hot water complaints were filed, with some resulting in violations. The apartment 2 has been particularly affected, with multiple open violations as of August 2024 related to water damage, pest infestation, and building systems. Additionally, the property has experienced historical issues with electrical systems, including several complaints about defective wiring and work performed without proper permits between 2018-2024. While the building has consistently passed bedbug inspections and most recent rodent inspections show compliance, the persistent nature of heating, water, and pest issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
