235 East 33rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

The five-story, nine-unit building at 235 East 33rd Street in Kips Bay, owned by Marjorie Yang, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most concerning is the ongoing problem with annual bedbug reporting compliance, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, all remaining open as of the latest inspections.

Additionally, there are active violations from April 2023 related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for multiple years (2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022). The building has had intermittent heating issues, with a significant complaint in February 2022 about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though this was reportedly resolved within two days. The property has also encountered rodent-related challenges, with two failed inspections in 2021 and multiple violations recorded, though the most recent inspection in March 2025 resulted in a passing grade, indicating improved conditions.

Historical data shows a pattern of maintenance and compliance issues, though previous years (2017-2020) had consistently passed rodent inspections. The building's age (constructed in 1920) and classification as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" suggest it has undergone some form of conversion or modification from its original design, which may contribute to the maintenance challenges observed. While the presence of active violations requires attention, it's worth noting that the building has resolved some issues through complaint response mechanisms, though many problems persist through successive years.
