216 East 36th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
216 East 36th Street is a 4-story, 18-unit old law tenement building located in Murray Hill, built in 1900 and currently owned by Aaron Hoffman. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with documented outages in both November 2018 and October 2019, though in both instances, tenants reported that service was restored before HPD intervention. More recent concerns include a December 2022 incident involving unsafe conditions related to smoke detectors and mold, both of which were verified as corrected by HPD.
The building has also had several significant infrastructure and safety-related complaints, including a September 2019 lighting outage that HPD could not inspect due to access issues, an April 2021 water supply problem classified as an immediate emergency, and missing signage complaints. The property has maintained up-to-date bedbug reporting compliance, with no infested units reported in the most recent filings for 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 verification periods. Historical records show the building has regularly passed rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2016, and 2020.
There were multiple housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2019 and 2023, though these appear to have been resolved. A complaint regarding an illegal conversion was filed in September 2018, but inspectors were denied access during their attempts to investigate in November 2018. The building's permit history from 2019 through 2021 shows regular maintenance and improvement work, with multiple plumbing and electrical permits issued to address various building systems.
