109 East 56th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022
The 20-story building at 109 East 56th Street, owned by Leo Crociata and constructed in 1927, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most concerning being persistent plumbing and water leak problems. In September 2022, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued multiple violations for Unit 1100, including water leaks in the bathroom ceiling, defective faucets at the washbasin, and damaged plastered surfaces, all of which remain open as of 2023.
The building has also faced indoor air quality concerns, with two separate complaints in October 2018 regarding chemical vapors, though the specific outcomes of these incidents are not detailed in the records. Recent activity includes a 2024 Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspection of ventilation systems, which was resolved, and an active complaint regarding Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections as of September 2024.
The building's maintenance history shows attention to pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the annual filings from 2022-2024, and consistent passing results in rodent inspections from 2010 through 2012. While some past health-related incidents were recorded in the building's history, including a 2020 food poisoning complaint and a 2019 pest-related issue, these were resolved promptly. The property has maintained compliance with the annual bedbug reporting requirement since 2022, showing "0" for infested units in the most recent filings.
