315 East 54th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

This five-story, 39-unit residential building located at 315 East 54th Street in Midtown, owned by Steven Goldin, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance and regulatory events since 2018. Most recently, in September 2024, there were multiple 311 complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold, garbage/recycling storage issues, and flooring concerns, though HPD inspections found no violations of housing laws.

A November 2023 complaint about lack of heat and hot water affected the entire building, but inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Prior issues included window frame and ventilation system concerns in May 2023, and a significant water leak in a second-floor bathroom in July 2022 that required repair. The building has undergone several inspections and faced various compliance requirements since 2020, including eight administrative code violations cited in October 2020 related to safety signage, smoke detector requirements, and balcony maintenance that were subsequently addressed.

In mid-2018 through 2019, there were multiple investigations regarding potential illegal hotel room usage, though inspectors were typically unable to gain access. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record, showing no infestation cases reported across multiple annual filings from 2019 to 2024, and passed its most recent rodent inspection in January 2025, with only one failed inspection noted in May 2022. Throughout this period, several work permits were issued between 2018 and 2019 for various maintenance and improvement projects, including a 2019 construction project that generated two ECB violations related to tenant protection plans and construction rights notifications, though these were resolved.
