250 East 50th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

250 East 50th Street is a four-story, seven-unit residential building located in Midtown and owned by Steven Croman. The 125-year-old OLD LAW TENEMENT structure has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent concern being a sewage odor and indoor air quality complaint in March 2025 that received an advisory notice from the Department of Health. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water outages, with emergency complaints filed in December 2022, January 2022, and throughout 2019-2020, though in most cases, heat and hot water were reportedly restored by the time inspectors arrived.

There have been persistent issues with cooking gas supply, particularly affecting Units 4A, 3A, and 2B between 2019-2021, with multiple violations recorded. The property has also dealt with rodent issues, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2020-2022, though the most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 showed a "Passed" result. While there were some concerns about unauthorized hotel rooms in 2019, inspectors were unable to gain access during inspections.

The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record, consistently showing zero infestations or eradications in their annual filings since 2019. More recently, in 2023, a violation was recorded for failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection, which remains active as of April 2023. The building's violation history shows a mix of resolved and open issues, including a 2021 violation for mouse infestation in Unit 4A and various other general maintenance violations.
