228 East 46th Street, Manhattan, NY 10017

228 East 46th Street is a 7-story, 18-unit Class A residential building located in Midtown, constructed in 2008 and currently owned by Dena Herrera. The building has experienced recurring issues with its heating and hot water systems, with notable frequency of complaints in recent years. Most recently, in October 2024, there were emergency complaints regarding both heating and plumbing issues, though these were subsequently reported as corrected.

The building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations since 2019, and recent rodent inspections from January 2025 show compliance with health standards. The building's infrastructure has faced several significant incidents requiring attention, particularly regarding the elevator and boiler systems. Between 2021 and 2022, there were multiple complaints regarding the elevator's service status, with several resulting in Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, including a $3,125 penalty for being out of service in March 2022.

The boiler system also experienced issues, particularly in November 2021 when a leaking hot water storage tank reportedly caused flooding in the boiler room; this violation was resolved with a penalty of $1,562. The property has undergone regular inspections, with most violations being addressed and closed promptly, though there remains an active violation from 2019 regarding elevator defects and one from 2021 related to not certifying correction of an immediately hazardous violation. The building also had two water supply issues in 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges with essential services.
