210 East 58th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

The 12-story, 105-unit residential building at 210 East 58th Street, owned by Curtis Sachs and constructed in 1959, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past several years. Most notably, there have been multiple plumbing-related problems, including steam pipe/riser issues documented in 2020, water supply concerns in both 2018 and 2019, and various other maintenance matters such as water leaks and flooring problems.

The building has faced challenges with pest management, evidenced by rodent sightings and infestations, particularly in 2018 when multiple bait applications were required. During this period, the building garnered several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to safety and maintenance, including requirements for proper signage regarding smoke detectors, gas leak procedures, and heating system access, as well as violations regarding a defective wood floor, light fixture, and window guards in the penthouse apartment. The property has undergone various inspections and violations related to elevator maintenance and building infrastructure, including a 2020 ECB violation for elevator issues with a $1,250 penalty, though this appears to have been resolved.

More recent documentation shows improvements in bedbug management, with reports from 2021-2024 indicating either zero or very few affected units, and the most recent rodent inspection in January 2025 resulted in a passing grade. The building has encountered issues with timely submissions of required safety inspections and reports, particularly regarding external low-pressure inspections and energy benchmarking reports between 2022-2024, though many of these violations were subsequently dismissed. The most recent bedbug filings for 2023-2024 show no active infestations, suggesting improved pest management practices in recent years.
