56 West 76th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023
The four-story, 10-unit building at 56 West 76th Street, owned by Dorothy Friedman and constructed in 1889, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with two emergency complaints filed in early 2022, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspection in one instance.
Between 2019-2022, multiple complaints regarding the building's heating system, including radiator issues in Apartment 2F, along with concerns about mold, bell/buzzer/intercom systems, and unsanitary conditions were filed, though access was often not granted for inspections. Recent years have seen ongoing rodent-related concerns, with inspections in 2024 indicating improved conditions (passed inspections with no violations), following several instances of rat activity between 2022-2023.
The building currently has open violations from 2022 related to a defective radiator and non-functional safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) in Apartment 2F, though numerous prior violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements are also currently open from 2021 through 2024. The most recent inspection records show generally passing results for rodent inspections in 2024, and an active violation regarding an unfiled boiler inspection report from 2019 remains on the record. While some infrastructure issues appear to have been addressed, the building's maintenance history indicates periodic challenges with basic services and systems, particularly during the 2019-2022 period, though inspection results show recent improvements in rodent management.
