235 East 46th Street, Manhattan, NY 10017

235 East 46th Street is a 6-story, 63-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1938 and currently owned by Jeffrey Manocherian. The building has experienced recurring violations related to energy management and pest control over the past several years.

Most notably, in mid-2023, there were complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, though these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and no violations were issued. However, two Class C violations were subsequently documented related to defective self-closing doors and a device preventing door closure at the building entrance, both of which were certified as corrected by late July 2023. The building has a consistent history of energy reporting violations, with the most recent discrepancies occurring in 2022-2024 regarding the failure to file benchmarking reports of energy use, though these violations were ultimately dismissed upon confirmed submission.

There was one violation related to boiler inspection reporting in 2019 that resulted in a $1,000 penalty. While the bedbug reporting history shows occasional infestations, with one documented case in 2022-2023 and zero infestations reported in the most recent two years (2023-2024), the building has maintained a strong record of pest control, as evidenced by its 100% pass rate on rodent inspections since 2010, including the most recent inspection in January 2025. The building's management has demonstrated compliance with required inspections and reporting, though there have been several instances requiring correction of various safety and maintenance issues, particularly regarding door functionality and energy management compliance.
