58 East 56th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

58 East 56th Street is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building located in Midtown, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Gary Resnick. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between November 2022 and January 2023, affecting both entire building and individual apartments.

Inspections during this period resulted in several violations, including inadequate heat supply, defective smoke detectors, and maintenance concerns in Apartment 3B. More recent concerns have emerged regarding unauthorized transient occupancy, with the Department of Buildings issuing violations in June 2024 related to illegal hotel room use, inadequate egress, insufficient fire alarm systems, and violation of a vacate order for 2nd-floor Apartment 2A.

The building's safety systems have been a focus of attention, with open violations as of January 2023 noted for defective carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors in Apartment 4B, as well as access issues to the heating system. From a pest control perspective, bedbug reports over the past several years (2020-2024) show no infestation cases, and the building passed rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, and 2012, though there was a complaint filed and closed in 2021 regarding rodents/insects/garbage that was administratively closed after being addressed. The property has maintained annual compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, showing zero infestation cases during this period.
