319 East 21st Street, Manhattan, NY 10010

The 6-story, 22-unit residential building at 319 East 21st Street in Gramercy, constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Sabrina Dolla, has experienced persistent heating and water system issues over the past several years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with seven such complaints filed between October 2023 and November 2024, all of which were closed due to inability to gain access for inspection. A significant water leak was also reported in November 2023, though inspectors faced access issues.

Building systems have undergone regular maintenance and inspections, with hot water and heating problems documented as emergencies. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent filings from 2022-2023 showing zero infested units. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints registered between 2019 and 2025 regarding single device service and various operational issues. Notable violations from the Department of Buildings' Environmental Control Board regarding elevator safety were recorded in 2019, 2020, and 2021, with penalties imposed for non-compliance that were subsequently resolved.

The most recent elevator inspection in May 2025 showed no violations. Additional building maintenance records indicate regular rodent inspections, with passed results in 2011, 2013, 2018, and 2025, suggesting effective pest management. A 2023 violation was noted for a non-self-closing door to the cellar at the public hall on the first story, though this was subsequently closed. While the building has experienced infrastructure challenges, particularly with heating systems, it has maintained compliance in key areas such as pest control and general building maintenance.
