328 East 53rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

328 East 53rd Street is a 4-story, 6-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900 in the Midtown neighborhood, currently owned by Mark Silber. The building has experienced several ongoing issues over recent years, with particular attention required for its bedbug reporting compliance; as of 2024, there are still open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports dating back to 2021.

There have been multiple maintenance concerns documented, including significant violations from 2018 involving Unit 3, where issues such as mold in the bathroom, defects in the intercom system, and various bathroom maintenance problems were identified and subsequently closed. The building's exterior has been a point of concern, with a Department of Buildings violation from 2018 noting multiple vertical cracks in the exterior walls and broken windows on the second floor, though this was resolved with a penalty of $625. More recent regulatory scrutiny includes open violations for failing to file annual boiler and low-pressure inspection reports from 2017 and 2019, which remain unresolved as of 2023.

Fortunately, the building has maintained good rodent control, with all inspections from 2010 to 2025 showing passing results. The property has undergone some permitted work, with a permit issued in January 2020 for exterior work. While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, it's worth noting that many older violations have been addressed and closed, though several important compliance matters, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and certain inspection filings, remain outstanding as of the latest available data.
