845 United Nations Plaza, Manhattan, NY 10017

845 United Nations Plaza, a 70-story residential building completed in 2000 and containing 362 units, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of mold-related problems, with the most recent violation occurring in June 2024 in apartment 23G, where violations were issued for mold on the bathroom ceiling and walls.

The building has maintained its bedbug-free status across multiple reporting periods from 2020 to present, and recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed compliance with no active issues. The property has faced multiple violations related to safety signage and requirements, particularly in 2022, including failure to properly post notices for smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detecting device requirements, and various building safety notices. An active violation remains from 2019 regarding the failure to maintain a required drinking fountain in the privately owned public space, with a $10,000 penalty imposed.

The building underwent three tenant safety inspections in 2024-2025, all resulting in either compliance or no violations being found at the time of inspection. Additional inspections and complaints regarding the pool facilities and lifeguard certification were recorded in 2022, though these appeared to have only minor violations. The property has been proactive in addressing structural and maintenance needs, as evidenced by multiple work permits issued between 2018-2019 for various repairs and maintenance work.
