221 East 58th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

221 East 58th Street is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Eugenio Minoli. The building has experienced several maintenance issues, most notably in 2021 when multiple complaints were filed simultaneously regarding safety concerns (including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), heating issues, and problems with walls, ceilings, and windows.

While these complaints were ultimately closed by HPD, they indicate a period of significant upkeep challenges. The fourth-floor apartment (4W) had several documented violations in 2019 regarding defective plastered surfaces and paint requirements in multiple rooms and the bathroom, along with door self-closing issues, though these were certified as corrected in 2021. The building has generally maintained good standards in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2019 and consistent passing results in rodent inspections from 2010 through 2025.

There were two closure complaints in late 2021 regarding egress issues and excessive debris, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their attempts. Older historical records from 1985 show some structural and maintenance issues related to a rear restaurant extension and concerns in the cellar and boiler room, but these were resolved by 2021. The most recent activity includes a rodent inspection passing in January 2025 and the issuance of certain permits in 2018 related to electrical and plumbing work.
