231 East 54th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

This four-story, 15-unit residential building located at 231 East 54th Street in Midtown, owned by Amy Vernazza, has been in operation since 1900 as an Old Law Tenement. The building has undergone regular inspections and faced various issues over the past few years. Most recently, in late 2024, there were two Department of Health inspections regarding unsanitary pigeon conditions, both of which resulted in the property passing inspection with no violations found.

The building has maintained an impeccable record regarding bedbug infestations, with all inspection periods from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units. The property has experienced some rodent-related challenges, with the most recent inspections in late 2024 and early 2025 passing successfully. However, there were two failed inspections in 2023 (June and August) for "Other Reasons," which warrants attention.

Prior to this, the building had a series of complaints in 2019 regarding after-hours work and permit issues, though inspections found no violations in these cases. A 2020 complaint about excessive debris also resulted in no violations being found. While the building has had some sanitary issues addressed through 311 calls, including the recent pigeon waste complaints, the timely responses and lack of violations found during inspections suggest these issues are being managed appropriately.
