301 East 48th Street, Manhattan, NY 10017
The Marlo Towers, located at 301 East 48th Street in Midtown, is a 20-story, 198-unit residential building constructed in 1964 and currently owned by Bulent Asabay. The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, most notably a series of serious violations and safety inspections in 2023-2024, where multiple tenant safety inspections resulted in Oath Violations being served. The property has unresolved Department of Buildings violations from 2023 related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for multiple years (2018-2020), and recent complaints about failure to maintain conditions were documented in 2024.
Bedbug reports show improved conditions with only 5 infestation cases reported in 2022-2023, all of which were eradicated, though this followed a pattern of increased infestations in previous years. The building has had multiple food establishment-related complaints over the years, including issues with food safety and preparation in 2020 and a 2024 allergy information complaint. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections, with all results showing compliance and passing ratings, most recently in February 2025.
Several construction and maintenance permits have been issued in recent years, with the most recent being for plumbing work in June 2025. Past regulatory history includes violations regarding unregistered boilers in 2020, issues with special permits in 2021, and multiple Environmental Control Board violations in 2023-2024 related to improper tenant protection plan compliance, for which penalties were imposed. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular attention needed on the historical pattern of bedbug infestations, food safety complaints, and recent tenant safety violations.
