57 West 76th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

57 West 76th Street is a 6-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1890, currently owned by Mansour Mehdizadeh. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2022 when there were multiple reports of building-wide heat and hot water problems in February, requiring emergency intervention by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). During the same year, there were also concerns about electrical outlets and switches reported in July.

The building has undergone multiple inspections and received violations related to its fire safety systems, including missing sprinkler pipes in apartments 9 and 11, and questions about unauthorized alterations to kitchen appliances in both apartments. These violations, issued during a 2019 inspection, remain open as of the latest data review. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported since 2018 and consistent passing results for rodent inspections from 2017 through 2024, though there was one instance of "Rat Activity" noted during a compliance inspection in May 2019.

More recent health department interactions in 2024 included responses to food establishment complaints, though these appear to be related to a commercial operation rather than the residential building itself. The building experienced water-related issues in 2021, with both slow and heavy flow leaks reported and addressed. While there are several open violations regarding building conditions as of 2023, particularly concerning the fire safety systems and unauthorized alterations, the property has shown improvement in some areas, as evidenced by recent passing rodent control inspections and the absence of bedbug infestations in recent years.
