229 East 48th Street, Manhattan, NY 10017

The 4-story, 3-unit building at 229 East 48th Street in Midtown, owned by Jesus Rodriguez, was constructed in 1861 and has undergone conversion to a Class A residence. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years, with open violations documented in 2023 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under HPD regulations.

Notably, the building experienced a heat and hot water emergency complaint in February 2019, though this issue was promptly addressed and closed within two days. Despite the bedbug reporting violations, the building has maintained a solid record of pest control with regular rodent inspections, passing all nine inspections conducted between 2010 and 2025. The bedbug reporting history shows no documented infestations during the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 reporting periods, with all counts for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units marked as zero.

The property's maintenance record reveals attention to basic compliance requirements, as evidenced by the regular bedbug report filings, though the repeated violations indicate some challenges in meeting all housing maintenance code requirements. The rodent inspection history demonstrates consistent compliance and has recently passed its February 2025 inspection, maintaining a clean record in this area. While the building has experienced occasional issues requiring correction, such as the 2019 heat/hot water complaint, these have generally been addressed promptly and do not appear to represent a persistent pattern of maintenance problems.
