236 East 36th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

236 East 36th Street is a 13-story, 145-unit residential building constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Maria Platis. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably an open sewage-related unsanitary condition complaint filed with HPD in April 2025, and electrical power outage in June 2025.

The building underwent multiple inspections in February 2021 that revealed various maintenance issues, including violations related to plumbing, flooring, cabinet, and wall conditions. Apartment 8K, in particular, had several violations documented in 2021 involving mold, plaster, paint, and door conditions, all of which were eventually addressed and certified as corrected. The building experienced construction-related compliance issues in March 2021, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations against RSG Construction Corp for safety and documentation failures, as well as a building facade crack issue documented that same month.

While there have been various maintenance complaints over the years, including about heating, plumbing, and air quality, many were resolved promptly. Notably, the building has maintained an ongoing record of successful rodent inspections, with the most recent passing inspection in March 2025, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past several years, according to annual filings. The property's mechanical systems, including water supply and electrical infrastructure, have shown both recurring issues and prompt remediation, though the recent open sewage complaint indicates ongoing maintenance challenges.
