331 East 50th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

The four-story, three-unit building at 331 East 50th Street, currently owned by the Permanent Mission of Latvia, has experienced several significant events over the past five years that merit attention. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a complaint regarding building shaking or vibration issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the property during their second attempt to investigate.

Prior to this, the building faced multiple construction-related concerns in 2024, including complaints about debris (June), non-compliant construction work (August), and issues with a potentially inadequate sidewalk shed or scaffold that resulted in a stop work order (April), though this was fully rescinded by August. In September 2023, there was an allegation of work being conducted without proper permits, though no violations were found upon inspection.

The building's earlier history shows a complaint in March 2020 regarding missing permits, which was similarly resolved with no violations found following inspection. While many of these complaints were investigated and determined to have no violations at the time of inspection, the recurring nature of construction-related issues and the recent complaint regarding building vibrations may be of particular note to current or prospective tenants.
