50 United Nations Plaza, Manhattan, NY 10017
50 United Nations Plaza is a 41-story, 88-unit residential building located in Midtown Manhattan, constructed in 2008 and currently owned by Leonard Barish. The building has experienced several inspection and complaint events over the past five years, with the most recent being a series of unlicensed/illegal activity complaints in 2025 and 2024, neither of which warranted violations upon inspection.
In 2020, the building incurred a violation for failing to submit an Elevator Inspection Record (EER) as required, though this was dismissed and properly resolved by September 2020. A notable incident occurred in 2019 when a glass panel was damaged by debris from a nearby construction site, though this violation was also dismissed following repairs. The building has maintained good pest control records, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past six years (2019-2025) and consistent passing results on rodent inspections since 2016.
While there have been multiple permits issued for various work on the property between 2018-2019, including elevator and plumbing work, these appear to be routine maintenance-related permits. The frequency of complaints related to unlicensed/illegal activity in 2024-2025 is worth mentioning, though inspections found no violations in response to these complaints. The building's overall maintenance record shows regular compliance with safety inspections and prompt resolution of most issues when they arise.
