327 East 34th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

The 5-story, 29-unit building at 327 East 34th Street in Murray Hill, owned by Maria Sciortino, was constructed in 1920 and has undergone several significant maintenance and regulatory events over recent years. Most notably, in October 2021, the building experienced a heat and hot water outage that affected the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored within a few days. The property has been subject to multiple Department of Buildings inspections, with the most recent occurring in April 2024, though no violations were found during that inspection.

A notable violation was recorded in September 2023, related to local law audits, which resulted in an Oath violation being served. Between 2020 and 2021, there were two separate complaints regarding defective/exposed electrical wiring, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the affected areas during their inspections. The building has also faced issues with facade maintenance, with a 2020 violation citing cracks and eroded mortar joints, which carried a $1,250 penalty.

On a positive note, the building has consistently maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past four years and only one instance (in 2019-2020) recorded in the previous six years. Recent rodent inspections have all resulted in passing grades, with the most recent inspection in January 2025 showing compliance. The building has demonstrated regular compliance with required inspections, though there is an active violation from February 2023 regarding the failure to file a FISP Cycle 9B technical report. Despite these challenges, the property management has generally responded to issues as they arise, with most violations being resolved promptly or dismissed following inspection.
