333 East 55th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

333 East 55th Street is a 13-story, 114-unit residential building located in Midtown and built in 1962, currently owned by 333 East 55th St. Owners, Inc. The building has experienced recurring indoor air quality issues, specifically documented through multiple complaints between 2023 and 2024 regarding chemical vapors, gases, and odors, with the most recent incidents in December 2023.

These complaints resulted in health department interventions, including advisories to the property management. The building has also faced administrative violations related to failure to submit required Environmental Assessment Reports (EERs) for multiple years between 2018 and 2022, though these violations were ultimately dismissed in May 2024. While the building has maintained a zero infestation record for bedbugs over the past five reporting periods (2020-2024), there were notable rodent management concerns in 2017, with several baiting interventions and documented rat activity.

However, recent rodent inspections from 2018 onwards have passed, indicating improved pest management. The property has undergone various permitted work projects in recent years, including plumbing and electrical work, with permits issued between 2018 and 2021. Historical complaints from 2019 regarding tenant safety and illegal activity were investigated but found no violations at the time of inspection. The building's maintenance record shows regular monitoring of pest issues, and while there have been air quality concerns, these have been addressed through official channels rather than resulting in lasting violations.
