333 West 76th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The five-story, 11-unit building at 333 West 76th Street, owned by Mark Hornfeld and constructed in 1895, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most significantly, in December 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding safety concerns with the fire escape, and violations were issued in connection with window frame problems.

The building has also shown repeated issues with radiator systems, including both plumbing and paint/plaster concerns, though inspections in January 2025 determined these did not violate housing laws. An indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical odors was filed in late 2024, and there were emergency complaints about heat and hot water affecting the entire building in December 2024. The property has active violations pending from June 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2020 and 2021, though previous similar violations from 2019 and 2022 were dismissed in 2023.

Interestingly, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations across multiple inspection periods from 2019 through 2025, demonstrating effective pest management. While there was one instance of rat activity recorded in August 2024 during rodent inspections, subsequent inspections in September and October 2024 resulted in passing grades, suggesting prompt corrective action. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, particularly concerning window frames, radiators, and safety features, while also displaying some strengths in pest control and routine rodent management compliance.
