349 East 49th Street, Manhattan, NY 10017

349 East 49th Street is a 6-story, 103-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Elise Platt. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, with the most significant being two active violations as of 2025 regarding structural damage to the aluminum storefront from vehicle impact and failure to file the 9C FISP technical report by the February 2024 deadline.

Recent inspections in early 2025 noted building shaking or vibration concerns, and there was an attempted inspection in 2025 regarding an electric/gas range complaint that could not be completed. The property has maintained relatively good pest control measures, with regular rodent inspections passing consistently since 2018, and bedbug reports showing no infestations in the past seven reporting periods from 2018 through 2024. The building has recorded multiple health and safety complaints over recent years, including ventilation issues in 2023, multiple food poisoning complaints in 2023, and a vaccine mandate non-compliance issue in 2021.

There have been some historical maintenance problems, particularly in 2019 when several violations were issued concerning water leaks and plaster damage in Apartment 4A, though these were certified as corrected by mid-2019. The property has undergone various permitted work between 2018 and 2020, including several emergency work permits related to repairs and maintenance. While the building has experienced various compliance and maintenance issues, regular inspections and prompt responses to violations indicate ongoing management attention to property conditions.
