322 East 55th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

322 East 55th Street is a 4-story, 17-unit residential building in Midtown, owned by Michael Felice and constructed in 1950 as an Old Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water availability, particularly evident from multiple complaints between 2019 and 2022, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Some of these complaints resulted in HPD inspections, though access was often denied. In late 2022, the building faced significant maintenance challenges in Apartment A, with documented violations including rodent and cockroach infestations, along with multiple repair needs such as electrical issues, floor damage, and problems with self-closing doors - all of which were certified as corrected by February 2022. Recent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2024 show zero incidents of infestation, indicating successful management of this potential issue.

The building has maintained a strong record in rodent inspections, passing all nine inspections from 2010 through January 2025. While the heat and hot water issues from 2019-2022 suggest recurring mechanical or infrastructure challenges, the more recent bedbug reports and passed rodent inspections indicate improved management of pest control issues. As of now, no recent complaints or violations have been recorded since the resolution of the 2022 issues, though it is worth noting that several previous complaints were closed without proper access for inspection.
