355 East 19th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The 7-unit, 7-story condominium at 355 East 19th Street in Gramercy, completed in 2014, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been three heat and hot water emergencies in recent months (January 2025, November 2024, and December 2023), with the most recent incident affecting the entire building.

A concerning mold situation was documented in December 2023, resulting in violations for approximately 15 square feet of mold on the west and south walls of the shower in the 7th-floor PH apartment, which remains in open violation as of July 2025. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, including plumbing problems with the bathtub/shower and refrigerator issues in 2022, though these were classified as non-emergency and no violations were issued.

The condominium has demonstrated good compliance with rodent control measures, passing all inspections from 2015 through 2025, including recent inspections in May 2023 and May 2025, though there were reports of rat activity in January and June 2014, during the building's early occupancy period. Bedbug management appears to be effectively handled, with no reported infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2024), following a complete eradication in the 2020-2021 period when all 7 units were affected. The building has maintained regular compliance with filing annual bedbug reports since 2021, though there were violations noted for this requirement in previous years (2021, 2022, and 2023).
