240 East 32nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

240 East 32nd Street is a 4-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Kips Bay, built in 1930 and currently owned by Divya Rashad. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding unsanitary conditions.

Most notably, a mold-related complaint was filed and closed in July 2024 through HPD, which remains under open conditions requiring verification of corrections. Rodent-related issues have been a persistent concern, with multiple 311 complaints including a rat sighting in 2022 and ongoing rodent control measures observed in 2023-2025, as evidenced by consistent bait application records throughout this period. The building's bedbug situation appears stable, with the most recent annual filings from 2022-2024 showing zero infested units, though violations related to bedbug reporting requirements were issued and subsequently closed in 2021 and 2022.

In September 2024, four complaints were filed regarding possible illegal conversions, with three being closed on the same day with unspecified dispositions, while one was noted as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access." Additionally, a complaint about work being conducted without a permit was filed the same month but resulted in no violation being warranted at the time of inspection. The building's recent 311 and Housing Maintenance Code complaint history shows a pattern of unresolved and newly emerging maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns generally being handled through standard closure processes rather than comprehensive remediation. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, reporting no infestations or eradications during this period.
