241 East 58th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

The 16-unit, 4-story building at 241 East 58th Street, owned by Mark Scharfman and built in 1910, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being an unsanitary garbage/recycling storage situation reported in late 2024 that resulted in violations being issued by HPD. Between 2021 and 2024, the building faced multiple heat and hot water complaints, including emergency reports in December 2021 and May 2021 affecting either individual apartments or the entire building.

The property underwent significant scrutiny in 2021, receiving various violations related to building maintenance including issues with fire retardant materials, self-closing doors, skylight safety, and garbage receptacle requirements, though most of these violations have been certified as corrected by 2023. The building's systems appear to be generally stable, with a recent elevator complaint in early 2025 yielding no violations upon inspection. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all annual reports from 2021 to 2024 showing no infestation.

Rodent inspections have mostly passed since 2016, though an initial inspection in February 2021 resulted in a failure for unspecified reasons. The Department of Buildings has processed various permits for the property, with multiple issued in 2018 related to electrical and plumbing work. The building's recent history suggests ongoing challenges with garbage storage maintenance, though major systemic issues appear to have been addressed, as evidenced by the lack of recurring heat/hot water complaints since 2021 and the building's successful rodent control inspections.
