312 East 51st Street, Manhattan, NY 10022
The 5-unit, 4-story residential building at 312 East 51st Street in Midtown, owned by Ashley 312 LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding building-wide heating and water supply systems. In March 2024, the building faced multiple emergency complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water, with violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Additionally, there were unsanitary conditions reported in March 2024 related to garbage/recycling storage, and more recently in April 2024, concerning mold issues which received emergency attention from HPD.
The building's recent inspection history reveals several open violations as of July 2024, including safety concerns such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 1A, water leak issues, and multiple maintenance problems in the first-story public areas, including ceiling repairs and paint requirements. The building's mechanical systems have also faced scrutiny, with a 2022 Environmental Control Board violation related to the boiler condition, including issues with soot, combustion air fan, and burner service needs, which remains active with a penalty imposed. Elevator maintenance has been a concern, with complaints recorded in 2025 regarding single device service, though no violations were found upon inspection.
Historical maintenance records show a pattern of heating system problems, with multiple tenant complaints in 2024. However, the building has maintained a good track record in terms of pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2019 and consistent passing results in rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 showing compliance. The property has several active violations as of July 2024, including issues with fire safety systems and general maintenance requirements, though many previous violations from 2019-2022 appear to have been resolved.
