336 East 50th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

336 East 50th Street is a 5-story, 24-unit residential building located in Midtown and owned by Sonali Pathirana. Built in 1960 and currently designated as a converted Class A building, the property has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. The most concerning current violation is from January 2024, related to the absence of a second means of egress in the fire-damaged building, which carries a penalty of $1,250 and remains active as of July 2025.

The building has a documented history of heat and hot water outages, with three emergency complaints in November 2019 alone, though these issues were reportedly resolved promptly. More recent concerns include two DOB complaints in late 2023 regarding electrical wiring and construction work, though access for inspection was not granted in one instance. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the annual filings from 2019 through 2024.

Additionally, consistent rodent inspections show passing results in recent years, including inspections in early 2025. The building's maintenance history also includes attention to general safety concerns, with closed complaints regarding material storage (2022) and sidewalk shed conditions (2019) where no violations were found upon inspection. While there have been various complaints and inspection visits over the years, the management has generally responded to issues, though there have been occasions where inspections could not be completed due to access restrictions.
