312 East 35th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

312 East 35th Street is a 40-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in Murray Hill, built in 1910 and currently owned by Peter Tran. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most concerning being a major water damage incident documented in 2022-2024 that required a vacate order due to "extensive water damage throughout" with missing finished walls and saturated wood joists. The building has had recurring elevator problems, particularly notable in 2018 when the only elevator was out of service, and more recently in 2019 with undisclosed defects.

There were also multiple violations in 2018 related to unauthorized encumbrances in public hallways and a rodent infestation issue that year. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2023-2025, showing zero infested units in its most recent filings. Recent inspections in 2025 have passed for rodent control, suggesting improved vermin management.

However, there is currently an active violation for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, as of September 2024. The building's record shows a pattern of electrical issues, plumbing problems, and door/window maintenance needs, particularly clustered around July 2018, though these were generally resolved without major violations. Additionally, there have been multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2021-2024, though these appear to have been primarily administrative in nature.
