340 West 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023
340 West 72nd Street is an 8-story, 23-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Maria Hurst. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing being an unsanitary pigeon condition reported in April 2025 (DOHMH) and ongoing exterior maintenance concerns. Multiple violations regarding the building's exterior walls and cornices have been documented between 2022 and 2024, with recent active violations citing failure to maintain the facade in a code-compliant manner.
The building has experienced recurring plumbing and electrical issues, with violations noted for toilet problems in 2021, and multiple electrical complaints in July 2024 regarding lighting and outlets, though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints. A refrigerator-related violation was noted in 2024. The property's maintenance record shows both improvements and ongoing challenges in building upkeep.
While the building passed recent rodent inspections in 2025 and maintained an active bedbug-free status in 2023-2024 filings, there are open violations related to exterior maintenance, including issues with the sidewalk shed and cornice conditions. The building has also had multiple tenant safety inspections in 2023 resulting in Oath Violations, and there were concerns about an expired sidewalk shed permit in 2024. The presence of several permits issued for various work types in 2024-2025 suggests ongoing maintenance and repair activity, with some permits specifically related to exterior work. The building's history includes past heat and hot water issues (noted in 2019 and 2018), though recent inspections indicate these systems are currently functional.
