306 East 52nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

306 East 52nd Street is a 6-story, 6-unit apartment building located in Midtown Manhattan, built in 1910 and owned by Jerry Cahn. The property has experienced several compliance issues over the past few years, most notably an active ECB violation from 2018 regarding the failure to submit required exterior wall inspection reports, and a newer violation from 2024 concerning the annual bedbug report filing requirement.

Between 2018 and 2021, there was one incident of inspector inability to gain access during an inspection for illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings. All four complaints related to unauthorized work and scaffold issues in February 2022 were inspected and found not to warrant violations.

The building has consistently maintained proper pest control measures, as evidenced by six consecutive annual bedbug reports between 2019 and 2025 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. While most recent rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have passed successfully, there was one failure recorded in April 2022 for "Other Reasons," though this is unlikely to be a significant ongoing concern given the subsequent consistent passing results. The property has two active violations that warrant attention: the unresolved failure to perform a Category 5 inspection (as of 2019) and the ongoing issue regarding the 8th round report of critical examination for exterior walls (as of 2018) with a $625 penalty.
