232 East 54th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

The 37-story residential building at 232 East 54th Street, completed in 2018 and managed by East 54th Street Properties LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, there were multiple open complaints regarding water supply problems and heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building, with additional concerns about heavy water leaks and mold conditions.

Earlier in 2025, there were also ventilation and smoking violations, though inspections were either inconclusive or resulted in HPD's inability to access affected units. The building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past four years, with inspections consistently showing no evidence of infestation. Looking at the building's history, there have been recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, with previous heat/hot water complaints recorded in 2021.

The property underwent construction and faced several safety compliance issues during its initial build phase in 2020-2021, including multiple violations related to worker safety protocols and equipment requirements, though these have since been resolved. More recent building violations include a 2024 citation for failing to file an energy use benchmarking report, which was dismissed, and a 2023 violation regarding an occupied apartment's pest control issues that was also subsequently addressed. The building has passed all rodent inspections since 2016, indicating effective pest management, and has shown compliance with various building permit requirements throughout its operational history.
