216 East 32nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

The three-story, five-unit building at 216 East 32nd Street in Kips Bay, managed by Inderjit Rangi, has experienced several notable issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most concerning is the building's apparent failure to comply with required external low-pressure inspection filings, with active violations issued in June 2023 for the years 2018-2021, including a specific violation for not filing the 2020 inspection.

In late 2022, the building faced multiple emergency complaints, including issues with heat and hot water (December) and water supply problems (October), though inspections did not result in official violations. The property has also had recurring bedbug reporting requirements, with violations noted in 2021-2022, though recent filings show no active infestations or incidents (most recent filing was in May 2024). The building has undergone rodent inspections with generally positive results, passing inspections in 2016-2025, though there were two consecutive failures in 2014 that indicate past concerns in this area.

Safety and access issues have been documented through multiple C-class violations in December 2022 regarding self-closing doors at building entrance and vestibule locations, though these violations were subsequently closed. The property has maintained basic compliance with housing maintenance codes in recent years, with no active violations related to heat, water, or general maintenance as of early 2025. The building's age (constructed in 1900) and historical conversion to Class A status indicate it has undergone various adaptations over its lifetime, typical of many NYC structures of this vintage.
