300 East 40th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
300 East 40th Street is a 32-story, 586-unit residential building in Murray Hill, constructed in 1967 and currently managed by Churchill Owners Corp C/o Allied Partners. The building has faced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing being current open complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests (2025) and construction lead dust entering apartments (2024). There have been multiple incidents of mold reported between 2023-2024, along with ventilation system and wall issues in early 2024.
The property experienced significant heating system problems in late 2022, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water, though these were eventually resolved. The building's exterior and safety systems have also required attention, with ongoing concerns about facade stability evidenced by a 2025 active facade inspection complaint and a 2022 partial vacate order affecting all building balconies and the 2nd floor terrace. Between 2022-2023, there were multiple violations related to scaffold stability and sidewalk shed safety, including a 2023 construction safety compliance violation that resulted in a partial stop work order.
While there have been periodic rodent activity reports (most recently in March 2025), inspections have generally passed. The building has maintained an active response to bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024), following several years of documented cases between 2018-2022. Recent Department of Buildings records show regular permit activity for maintenance work, with multiple permits issued in 2019 and 2020 for various repairs and inspections.
