347 East 33rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

This 22-story, 209-unit residential building, constructed in 1998 and owned by New York University, has experienced a number of maintenance and regulatory events over recent years. The most recent significant issue was a pest-related sanitary condition reported in October 2023 that remains under HPD review. Between 2021 and 2023, the building underwent multiple non-emergency repairs including elevator maintenance and water supply issues in September 2021, and heating/hot water problems in December 2018, which required Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) intervention.

A notable violation was recorded in December 2018 regarding defective carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 21D. The building has undergone regular inspections for rodent control, with the most recent inspection in January 2025 showing compliance. The property has maintained a generally good record regarding bedbug infestations, with reports between 2018 and 2025 showing minimal activity, though three separate incidents were recorded in 2018-2020 involving one to two units.

While there were several external low-pressure inspection violations issued in 2023, these were subsequently dismissed. The Department of Buildings has conducted inspections for various complaints including building stability concerns in 2020 and elevator service issues in 2019, with most resulting in no violations or verified corrections. Multiple permits for plumbing and electrical work have been issued between 2019 and 2024, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements to building systems. The building's location in the Kips Bay neighborhood is supported by regular inspections and monitoring by city agencies, though the most recent pest complaint and historical water-related issues suggest some ongoing maintenance challenges.
