304 East 41st Street, Manhattan, NY 10017

304 East 41st Street, a 16-story residential building constructed in 1929 in Murray Hill, currently owned by Dominick Dangelica, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most concerning are three active Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 relating to the building's facade maintenance, including spalling terra cotta and masonry cracks, with penalties totaling $26,250. In February 2024, the facade was designated as unsafe by qualified engineers, triggering an additional $10,000 violation for failure to secure public safety.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance from 2022 to 2024, showing zero infested units during this period. Recent rodent inspections have passed, with the most recent in March 2025 confirming no active issues, though there have been historical concerns, including a rat sighting complaint in 2022 when inspectors were unable to access the property. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various infrastructure needs, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2021 for plumbing, electrical, and exterior work.

There was also a period of housing maintenance code violations in 2022 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these issues appear to have been resolved as rates have been filed correctly since then. The property has undergone regular inspections and addressed many maintenance issues, though the recent facade violations indicate ongoing structural concerns requiring attention. The building's energy benchmarking report was submitted and confirmed in mid-2024, marking compliance with that requirement.
