324 East 48th Street, Manhattan, NY 10017

324 East 48th Street is a 5-story, 19-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Philip Klein. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over its history, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring during an August 1992 inspection of Apartment 7. These violations included problems with caulking around the bathroom tub, concealed leaks, a defective smoke detector, security issues with window locks, damaged kitchen flooring, lighting problems in public areas, and various maintenance concerns affecting egress.

While all these violations have been officially closed as of April 2023, they suggest a period of significant maintenance challenges in the building's past. More recent concerns have been relatively minimal, with only one reported pest-related issue in September 2020 that was promptly addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. The building has maintained an exemplary record in terms of bedbug management, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past five years (2020-2025).

The property has also demonstrated consistent rodent control success, passing inspections in 2010, 2011, and consistently from 2016 through 2025. The most recent rodent inspection in February 2025 was passed, continuing a decade-long pattern of successful pest management. The building's overall condition appears stable, with no recent major violations or persistent pest issues, though the unresolved violations from 1992 indicate there was once a period requiring significant attention to maintenance and safety systems.
