116 Central Park South, Manhattan, NY 10019

The 18-story, 79-unit condominium at 116 Central Park South, built in 1950, has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has active violations from October 2020 related to failure to maintain exterior building facade requirements, with specific problems including spalled bricks and cracked masonry on the north and south sides of the facade.

Between 2018 and 2023, there have been multiple maintenance complaints, including heating and hot water issues (in 2019 and 2020), fire escape safety concerns, and various plumbing problems. While many of these complaints were ultimately resolved or resulted in no violations being found, there are still several open violations related to building maintenance requirements, including the need to properly display various safety notices and certificates in the lobby area. The building has generally demonstrated effective pest control measures, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (most recent filing showing zero infested units in 2025) and passing rodent inspections in 2018 and 2023.

The property has undergone multiple repair and maintenance work throughout the years, as evidenced by several issued permits for plumbing and electrical work. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, particularly between 2019-2020, many issues have been resolved, though attention to the remaining active facade violations noted in 2020 would be warranted. The most recent health inspection in August 2023 regarding pigeon waste found no violations, and the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, suggesting generally improved overall maintenance in recent years.
