316 East 55th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

316 East 55th Street is a 6-story, 41-unit residential building constructed in 1958 and currently owned by Alan Manocherian. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with four documented complaints between 2019 and 2024, including two emergency complaints in December 2024 and October 2024.

These complaints resulted in HPD inspections, though access was not granted in some cases, and violations were issued in January 2019 for inadequate heat supply and locked boiler room access. The building's elevator systems have also been a concern, with complaints in 2019 and late 2023, though inspections found no violations or active issues at these times. The property has demonstrated compliance with pest control requirements, showing zero bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2025), and passed multiple rodent inspections between 2010 and 2025.

There have been several Department of Buildings violations related to energy reporting requirements between 2019 and 2022, though these were dismissed upon confirmation of compliance. Records show multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2019 for various maintenance and upgrade work, suggesting ongoing investment in building systems. Notably, there was an active Environmental Control Board violation issued in September 2019 regarding elevator alarm systems and stop switches, though the penalty was recorded as $625 with a balance due of $0.
