207 East 37th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

207 East 37th Street is a 10-story, 48-unit residential building in Murray Hill, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Julian Mossanen. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to water and heating systems. Most recently, in January 2025, there were complaints about heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, as well as water supply problems that HPD inspectors could not verify due to lack of access. In 2024, multiple water leak complaints were filed, describing both slow and heavy flow issues, and there was a ventilation-related indoor air quality complaint.

The building has faced ongoing challenges with access to units for inspection purposes, as evidenced by multiple HPD inspection attempts being unable to gain entry. The property has several active DOB violations regarding failure to file required external low pressure inspections for 2018-2023, and there is one active violation from 2024 concerning missing benchmarking reports. Historical inspection records show recurring issues with self-closing doors in public areas, including the building entrance and various floors, though these violations were addressed and certified closed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past eight years, and has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2010.

While there have been complaints about illegal hotel rooms and after-hours work in the past, inspections in 2019 and 2021 did not result in any violations being found. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related issues, including multiple emergency plumbing complaints and violations, though most historical violations have been resolved. The property has also faced challenges with its heating systems, most recently evidenced by the 2025 complaints about inadequate heat and hot water. However, the consistent passing of rodent inspections and the absence of bedbug infestations in recent years are positive indicators of building maintenance. The most pressing current issues appear to be the active violations regarding required inspections and reporting, which could potentially impact building operations and compliance status.
