204 East 32nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

204 East 32nd Street is a 5-story, 20-unit multiple dwelling built in 1900, currently owned by Lawrence Zombek. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between December 2022 and February 2023, including violations in January 2023 affecting the BWFBAS apartment that required subsequent correction of heating, hot water, and carbon monoxide/smoke detector deficiencies.

The building's maintenance history shows ongoing concerns with building systems, including several violations in 2023 related to door self-closing mechanisms and security features, with most resolved by mid-2023. Notably, there have been significant concerns regarding unauthorized use of the building for transient purposes in 2019, specifically involving Apartment 5WF, resulting in multiple ECB violations related to safety systems and egress requirements, though records show these are currently listed as resolved/active with associated penalties. The building has maintained a generally good record in terms of pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2020-2025), and recent rodent inspection in February 2025 passed.

While water-related issues were documented in 2019 involving sinks and showers, these did not result in violations. The property has undergone various permitted work over the years, with permits issued for different types of work including plumbing and electrical systems improvements between 2018 and 2021. The building's violation history shows some active DOB violations as of 2022-2025 regarding technical report filing and previously hazardous ECB violations, though several earlier violations were dismissed or resolved through certification.
