310 East 23rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10010

310 East 23rd Street is a 10-story, 134-unit commercial altered Class A building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Rob Rowan. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent emergency complaint filed in October 2023 regarding the absence of heat or hot water in an apartment. A significant cluster of complaints emerged in late 2020/early 2021, primarily related to pest infestations, particularly cockroaches in apartment 4H.

Multiple violations remain open, including one from February 2023 regarding unsafe façade conditions and another from October 2023 concerning defective self-closing doors in apartment 2D. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to regulatory requirements, with Bedbug Reporting showing zero infested units in the past several cycles (most recently filed in December 2024), and all rodent inspections since 2010 passing successfully. However, there are several concerning open violations and historical issues, including multiple façade-related violations issued in 2024 (including cracked/spalled masonry and a broken window) and various interior issues documented in violations from 2021-2023 affecting apartment 4H, including problems with sink waste lines, ceramic tiles, plaster surfaces, and cabinet repairs.

The building's history also shows attention to safety inspections, with recent elevator and façade compliance checks recorded in 2024, though some discrepancies in inspection filings from previous years resulted in dismissed violations. Regular maintenance records and compliance filings indicate ongoing management oversight, with particular attention paid to safety systems and building codes. However, the building has experienced periodic infrastructure challenges, particularly relating to heating systems and interior maintenance issues, suggesting areas requiring continued attention to ensure resident comfort and safety. While the property has maintained overall compliance with bedbug and rodent control regulations, the combination of open violations and historical maintenance issues indicates an ongoing need for attentive property management.
