276 West 71st Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

276 West 71st Street is a 20-unit, 4-story residential building constructed in 1887, currently owned by 276-w71 LLC. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2025, with multiple complaints and violations related to water issues, structural problems, and system deficiencies.

In April 2025 alone, there were numerous HPD complaints regarding ventilation systems, roof access, water leaks, and flooring concerns, several of which were subsequently addressed through HPD inspections. The building has also faced recurring issues with building systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency housing maintenance code complaints in 2025, including problems with heating/hot water, heavy water leaks, and door security. Apartment 6 has been a particular focus of attention, documenting various violations between August and September 2023 related to pest control, electrical safety, and required safety equipment, including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building's recent history shows a pattern of accessible violations and emergency complaints, particularly surrounding water and structural issues, though many have been resolved through official inspections and repairs. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections between 2015-2024, and there have been no documented bedbug infestations since at least 2021, with the most recent reporting periods showing zero infested units. While the building's age and history suggest typical maintenance challenges, the concentration of recent complaints and violations in 2025 indicates ongoing maintenance and safety system concerns that have required multiple interventions from housing authorities.
