245 East 39th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

245 East 39th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building located in Murray Hill, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Isabel Negron. The property has experienced recurring pest-related issues in recent months, with four separate complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests filed between April and May 2025, though in each case, HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for inspection. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with successful inspections recorded in 2025, 2022, 2020, and earlier years dating back to 2010.

While the building's bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no confirmed infestations, there have been other maintenance concerns, including electrical issues in 2021 related to lighting. The building has faced several regulatory challenges regarding window air conditioning units, with Environmental Control Board violations issued in 2020-2021 for improper installation lacking required support brackets, particularly affecting fourth and fifth-floor units. These violations, which carried penalties totaling $7,812, were ultimately resolved.

Historical records show that the building generally maintains compliance with rodent control measures, passing multiple inspections across several years. The property has submitted annual bedbug reports consistently showing zero infestation cases since 2020. While there have been various service requests and violations over the years, including a debris-related issue in 2020 and failure to certify correction of hazardous violations in 2020-2021, most recent complaints have centered around pest-related matters, particularly in 2025.
