248 East 50th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022
This three-story, six-unit residential building located at 248 East 50th Street in Midtown, owned by Stuart Fish and built in 1910, has experienced persistent heating system challenges throughout 2023-2024. Multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues spanning both the entire building and individual apartments were filed through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between December 2023 and October 2024, with several cases in which inspectors were unable to gain access to units for verification.
While some complaints reported that heat and hot water had been restored upon inspection, the frequency of these complaints suggests an ongoing maintenance concern. Recent inspections and violations indicate various maintenance and safety issues that have been addressed but warrant attention. In September 2024, violations were documented regarding a leaking roof affecting public areas and individual apartments, defective fire doors, and problems with fire-retardant materials in the third-story public hall.
One active violation related to the failure to file an annual boiler inspection report from 2017 still appears in the Department of Buildings records as of November 2019. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent filings showing zero affected units from 2021 through 2024. The most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 resulted in a passed inspection, following several bait application notices between 2018 and 2019, indicating past rodent activity but suggesting recent improvements in pest control management.
