357 East 50th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

357 East 50th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit tenement building located in Midtown, owned by Robert Vonancken and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced recurring hot water and heating issues, with multiple complaints between 2020-2023, including three separate incidents in February-March 2023 alone, though most of these complaints were resolved promptly with systems reportedly restored.

The property is currently experiencing several maintenance issues as of June 2025, with open violations related to paint/plaster on cabinets, window frames, lighting, door problems, and a reported unsanitary condition involving pests. Previous heating and hot water violations included failures to provide adequate service to specific apartments (notably 1A and 2B) as well as general building systems. The building has maintained a consistent record of compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections between 2017-2025, and there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past several years, with the most recent filings (2022-2024) showing zero affected units.

Housing Maintenance Code violations have included issues with building heating systems, hot water supply, and various other maintenance concerns, though many historical violations have been closed. The building has received rodent control inspections throughout the years, consistently passing these inspections, which suggests effective pest management practices. Recent permit activity (2018-2019) indicates ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts, though specific details of the work performed are not provided in the data.
