350 East 57th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

350 East 57th Street is a 15-story, 34-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1932, currently owned by Patricia Pettwaybrown. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concern being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in August 2021, though city inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The property has undergone multiple construction and facade maintenance efforts, with inspections in 2020 revealing several safety compliance violations related to suspended scaffolding and inspection documentation, resulting in a total of $12,500 in fines against Tribute Restoration Inc, all of which were subsequently resolved.

The building's facade and exterior maintenance history shows some ongoing concerns, with two active ECB violations from 2018 regarding building maintenance deficiencies, specifically citing problems with the roof, brickwork, and exterior walls, with an associated penalty of $1,250. More recent inspections have shown some improvements, with the most recent tenant safety inspection in April 2023 finding no violations. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with zero reported cases in the past six years.

Regular rodent inspections have also consistently passed since 2010, with the most recent inspection in January 2025 showing no issues. Multiple construction permits have been issued between 2018 and 2021, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvement work, particularly related to exterior facade work. While there are several open violations from 2018 and active elevator-related violations from 2019 that warrant attention, the building's overall recent inspection history suggests improved maintenance practices in the past couple of years.
