275 West 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The four-story, 11-unit building at 275 West 73rd Street, owned by Tariq Mundiya, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple unsanitary conditions involving pests, with three separate complaints in 2024 alone, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for inspection in these cases. The building has also faced some infrastructure challenges, including a water leak complaint in December 2023 (which showed no violations upon inspection) and a building-wide heat and hot water issue in October 2023, where inspectors again could not gain access to verify the problem.

The property has demonstrated a pattern of communication and access issues with inspectors, as seen in multiple complaints where inspection attempts were met with access denial. In 2022, there were several safety concerns addressed, including problems with window guards, doors, and window frames, all of which were verified as corrected upon inspection. Recent documentation shows improved compliance with rodent inspections, having passed all inspections since 2016.

The building has had some violations related to boiler maintenance, with active violations for failure to file annual inspection reports from 2017 and 2018 still showing as active as of 2023. However, bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024 indicates no recorded infestations during these periods, and the most recent rodent inspections in 2024 resulted in passing grades. The building's management has primarily responded to housing maintenance code violations, with most being classified as "closed" following appropriate corrections or inspections, though some recent complaints about pest conditions and heating issues remain concerning due to access denial issues during inspections.
