244-246 East 52Nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

The 7-story, 15-unit residential building at 244-246 East 52nd Street in Midtown, owned by Yehuda Mor, was completed in 2023 and has experienced multiple construction-related issues throughout its development. The most recent complaint, filed in March 2024, concerned water retention and drainage problems, though no violations were found upon inspection.

Throughout 2023-2024, the building faced several construction safety compliance actions, including issues with sidewalk shed safety, drainage, and various construction work violations. Notably, there was a stop-work order in place in October 2022 due to site conditions endangering workers, though this was fully rescinded.

The building has also incurred multiple violations for failing to certify corrections on immediately hazardous issues between 2021-2022, though all these violations were subsequently dismissed. As of the most recent bedbug reporting period (November 2023 - October 2024), the building has shown no signs of bedbug infestation, with zero units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested. While the building has experienced various construction-related issues and violations during its initial year of operation, the absence of bedbug problems and the resolution of most construction violations suggest improvements in building conditions, though the history of multiple safety compliance actions and construction-related complaints is notable.
