230 East 48th Street, Manhattan, NY 10017

230 East 48th Street is a 19-story residential building with 62 units, built in 1928 and currently owned by David Frankel M.D. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent significant incident occurring in late 2022 involving building-wide heating and hot water problems that required HPD intervention. In 2021, the building faced multiple concerns regarding flooring conditions, particularly in apartment 7A, which resulted in open violations related to wood floor repairs in both the apartment's rooms and private hallway, as well as an issue with a defective window counterbalance.

The building's facade and maintenance compliance has been a recurring theme, with violations issued in 2022 and 2021 regarding exterior building conditions, though these were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2010, with the most recent in February 2025 showing compliance. The building's management has demonstrated diligence in bedbug prevention, with annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infestation cases.

While there have been various regulatory violations noted between 2018 and 2022, including issues with fire safety equipment and required postings, these were generally addressed and resolved in a timely manner. The Department of Buildings records indicate proper permit issuance for exterior work in 2020, though there were past violations related to the failure to file required critical examination reports of the exterior wall and appurtenances. The building's heating system and general maintenance have required periodic attention, as evidenced by 311 complaints and subsequent investigations, most notably the building-wide heating issue in late 2022. Regular rodent control inspections have been consistently passed, suggesting effective pest management practices.
