150 East 56th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

The 13-story condominium building at 150 East 56th Street, constructed in 1956 and containing 75 units, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024, with four separate complaints filed between January and November 2024, including two complaints affecting the entire building. While one complaint from January 2024 resulted in an HPD inspection with no violations found, the other cases were closed due to lack of access for inspection.

The building has also undergone various maintenance and safety improvements, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations being addressed in 2024, including repairs to a defective vestibule door and smoke detector issues in apartment 12B, as well as a carbon monoxide detector violation. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years, with no reported cases from 2018 through 2024. Rodent inspections show generally positive results, with most inspections passing, though there was one failure for "Other Reasons" in May 2023.

The building has undergone significant renovations and repairs, with multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2023 for various work types, including emergency repairs. Notably, several Housing Maintenance Code violations remain unresolved as of 2024, although many previous violations from 2018-2020 related to elevator issues were ultimately dismissed or resolved through proper filings. The building's management has demonstrated ongoing compliance with City regulations, including regular bedbug reporting and prompt response to HPD inspections, though the recent heat and hot water issues indicate some continuing challenges with building systems.
