240 West 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

240 West 75th Street is a 10-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Tom Cyrana. The building has experienced several noteworthy issues in recent years, with the most significant being a heat and hot water outage in October 2021 that affected the entire building, though conditions were reportedly restored by the time of inspection.

More recent concerns include an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from September 2022 related to missing building superintendent contact information and inspection certificate display requirements in the public hall areas. The building has also had multiple maintenance inspections, with rodent inspections conducted regularly between 2016 and 2024 showing consistent passing results, including a recent rodent sighting complaint in July 2023 that did not result in any violations. The property has seen various maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, including three emergency complaints in 2021 (two related to cooking gas and heat/hot water), and a documented facade maintenance issue in July 2020 regarding the east elevation with spalling bricks and degraded mortar joints, which resulted in a $625 penalty that has since been resolved.

Several building complaints from 2020-2021 regarding unauthorized work, electrical wiring concerns, and sidewalk shed issues were investigated but did not result in violations being issued. The building's management has maintained good pest control practices, as evidenced by eight consecutive years of zero reported bedbug infestations from 2019 to 2024. Multiple work permits have been issued between 2018-2021 for various maintenance and repair work, suggesting regular upkeep of the building's infrastructure.
