321 East 52nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

The four-story, six-unit tenement building at 321 East 52nd Street in Midtown, owned by Enid Manning, has a documented history of heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with emergency complaints filed in 2018, 2020 (twice), and most recently in February 2021, though these issues were consistently resolved promptly according to HPD records. The property has experienced rodent activity in 2025, as indicated by two compliance inspections in March and February 2025, which follows a pattern of pest control challenges in recent years, marking a significant shift from previous inspections which had consistently passed from 2010 through 2018.

Of particular note, the building has shown good management of bedbug incidents, with only one reported case in the 2020-2021 period (with prompt eradication), and no reported infestations in subsequent years from 2021-2024. A plumbing emergency was reported in June 2025, which is currently marked as open and represents the most recent maintenance issue on record.

The building's inspection and violation history shows no major systemic issues beyond the recurring heat/hot water complaints and the recent rodent activity, with all other reported issues being addressed promptly. The property, built in 1910 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, has maintained regular compliance with health and safety inspections through most of its documented history, though the recent challenges with plumbing and rodent control merit attention as potential ongoing maintenance concerns.
