312 East 39th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
The 27-story residential building at 312 East 39th Street, owned by Wayne Ngai, has experienced notable pest and maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's ongoing struggle with rodent problems, as evidenced by a failed DOHMH inspection in April 2025 and a subsequent compliance inspection where violations were noted and follow-up inspections were scheduled.
The building faced multiple reports of unsanitary conditions and pest infestations between September and December 2024, with several HPD inspection attempts being denied access, though some inspections found no housing law violations. A significant heat and hot water complaint was reported and resolved in December 2024, indicating potential maintenance lapses. The building's violation history shows persistent issues in apartment 3B, with multiple open violations from 2021 related to painting requirements, and a Class C violation from 2022 reporting a mice infestation in that same unit.
Apartment 4G had mold issues documented in 2023 that resulted in both Class A and Class B violations. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free record since 2020, with regular reports showing no infested units, the rodent problem has become a recurring theme, with failed inspections in 2021 and 2025 and multiple service requests in 2024. The building, which has consistently passed various annual inspections for unauthorized hotel use between 2018 and 2024, shows ongoing maintenance efforts with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2021 for various repairs and improvements, though specific details on the nature of these work permits were not disclosed in the provided data.
