240 East 35th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

240 East 35th Street is a 12-story, 121-unit residential building located in Murray Hill, constructed in 1955 and currently owned by Kristina Ksokolowski. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past years, with the most recent concern being a heat and hot water problem reported in December 2024, which was classified as an emergency and required HPD intervention. Previous significant building maintenance issues were documented in 2018, when multiple pest-related complaints were filed, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

During the same year, the building faced two Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations related to exterior façade maintenance, with one incident involving spalled/damaged mortar joints and another concerning cracked coping stones, resulting in penalties totaling $3,750. The building's elevator maintenance history shows a violation in September 2019 for failure to correct defects from a 2017 inspection, though this was dismissed after appropriate actions were taken. Fortunately, more recent records indicate improved conditions, with no bedbug infestations reported from 2020 to 2025, except for one incident in 2020 that was resolved.

The most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passed, continuing a pattern of successful inspections since 2013, with only one rat activity report in 2013. The building has maintained active permit filings for various maintenance work, with multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2022 for plumbing and exterior work, suggesting ongoing attention to building upkeep. The most recent permits from 2020 and 2022 indicate continued investment in the building's infrastructure and systems.
