317 East 48th Street, Manhattan, NY 10017

The Continental Condominium at 317 East 48th Street is a 13-story, 125-unit building constructed in 1962, currently facing multiple maintenance and compliance issues. The most pressing concern is the building's failure to maintain proper boiler operations, with active violations dating from 2023 showing non-compliance with annual low-pressure boiler inspection requirements and associated penalties totaling over $31,000.

The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, as evidenced by complaints in 2024 and 2023, while 2022 involved multiple plumbing and water-related issues including a water supply problem and slow leak complaints. There have also been persistent mold and unsanitary condition reports, particularly affecting Apartment 3A in 2022, which received multiple violations related to mold on various walls and ceiling surfaces. The property has documented several mechanical and infrastructure concerns over the years, including multiple elevator complaints (2022), electrical wiring inspections (2018), and periodic safety inspections that show both compliance and failure in various systems.

The building's management has generally shown responsiveness to pest control issues, with annual bedbug reports showing zero infestation since 2019, and successful rodent control inspections passing consistently since 2012, most recently in February 2025. While the majority of complaints have been resolved through inspections and repairs, there remain several active violations and open repair orders, particularly relating to building systems and safety equipment. The property has maintained good general hygiene standards, as evidenced by consistent passing results in rodent inspections and bedbug eradication reports showing no infestations.
