258 West 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

258 West 73rd Street is a 5-story, 9-unit residential building constructed in 1888 and currently owned by 254-258 W 73rd St, LLC. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing current concern being an open complaint regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions as of June 2025.

A pattern of heat and hot water problems was evident in early 2022, with multiple emergency complaints logged in March and April, though these were resolved with system restoration confirmation. The building underwent structural challenges in 2020, with two complaints regarding building shaking/vibrating effects on structural stability, leading to ECB violations related to chimney, gutter, and cornice maintenance issues, which resulted in monetary penalties that were later resolved. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual filings since 2020 reporting zero infested units.

Recent rodent inspections have shown fluctuating results, with initial rat activity detected in August 2024, though subsequent compliance inspections indicated passing results. Other maintenance concerns have included appliance issues (specifically a refrigerator problem in June 2022), plumbing concerns (water supply issues in December 2020), and a door/window complaint from July 2019, all of which were subsequently resolved. The building's management has generally addressed violations and complaints, as evidenced by their closure, though there have been instances of access issues preventing immediate inspection (notably during the 2022 heat/hot water complaints and 2020 plumbing complaint).
