311 East 51st Street, Manhattan, NY 10022
The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 311 East 51st Street, owned by Norhabibah Can and constructed in 1900, is currently facing multiple significant maintenance issues as of mid-2025. There are several open complaints filed with HPD in April 2025 regarding water leaks (both slow and heavy flow), unsanitary conditions including mold and pests, paint/plaster issues, and window frame problems.
More recently, in May 2025, additional complaints were filed and subsequently closed regarding mold, water leaks, and pest infestations, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these issues. The building has a history of maintenance violations, with multiple citations for water-related problems and pest control issues, including a significant pattern of open and recently reported unsanitary conditions. In terms of building safety, there were serious violations identified in December 2022 regarding the illegal use of parts of the building for transient purposes, including failure to provide required fire alarms, sprinklers, and proper means of egress for these areas, though these violations were subsequently resolved with imposed penalties.
The property has shown some attention to pest control, with rodent inspections showing mixed results between 2023 and 2025, including instances of rat activity, but most recent inspections in early 2025 have passed. A bedbug report for 2023-2024 shows zero infested units. The building's recent history, particularly in 2025, indicates ongoing water management and pest control challenges, with multiple open complaints awaiting proper resolution or inspection verification.
