143 East 57th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

143 East 57th Street is a 6-story, 2-family residential building located in Midtown Manhattan, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Elvin Azzopardi. The building has experienced several notable incidents over the past several years, with the most recent being a heating complaint filed in late 2024 and closed in January 2025 by the Department of Health, which required residents to request inspection results directly from the agency.

In May 2025, the building faced an egress violation related to locked or blocked secondary means of escape, for which an Oath violation was served. The property has a history of various complaints that were ultimately found to have no violations at the time of inspection, including reports of an adult establishment (2022), issues regarding the certificate of occupancy (2020), and concerns about an illegal business sign/awning/marquee/canopy (2018-2021).

On a positive note, the building has maintained an infestation-free record according to the NYC Bedbug Inspection Registry, with no reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation for the period between November 2023 and October 2024. While the building has experienced several complaints over the years, most have been resolved with no violations recorded at the time of inspection, though the recent heating issue and egress violation warrant attention as they directly impact resident safety and comfort.
