323 East 51st Street, Manhattan, NY 10022
Located in Midtown, 323 East 51st Street is a 4-story, 3-unit building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Peter Ting. The building has a documented history of unauthorized short-term rental use, with multiple complaints filed between 2019 and 2023 regarding illegal hotel room operations, though many of these inspections resulted in "Inspector Unable to Gain Access" outcomes.
Most concerning are the 2020 violations regarding the building's fire safety systems, including missing sprinkler requirements and fire alarm systems for transient use, along with the removal of a posted vacate order. These violations resulted in significant financial penalties, though records indicate they were ultimately resolved. More recent issues include an open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though previous bedbug reports from 2021-2023 show no infested units were reported.
The building has maintained generally good health and safety records in other areas, passing recent rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. While there are some historical violations from the 1980s regarding heating system access notices and 1999 concerning entrance lighting, these appear to be longstanding regulatory requirements rather than current safety concerns. The property has experienced multiple instances of failure to comply with regulatory correction orders, particularly between 2019-2022, though many of these violations were ultimately dismissed or resolved.
