348 East 58th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

348 East 58th Street is a 5-story, 23-unit residential building located in Midtown Manhattan, built in 1920 and currently owned by Joseph Franco. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in January 2022, which was eventually resolved according to tenant reports. Between June and November 2021, there were multiple complaints regarding doors, windows, and frames, along with an appliance issue involving a refrigerator, all of which HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues.

The building's elevator system has required attention, with a Class 1 violation in February 2024 for a non-functioning door restrictor, though this was promptly resolved. Historical records show consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2010 to 2025, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, with the most recent bedbug report showing zero infested units. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety requirements, with records of annual bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 to 2024, though these are noted as requiring filings under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

Two emergency elevator-related complaints were recorded in late 2019, and there was one egress complaint in 2019 that was determined not to warrant a violation. The property has undergone some permitted work, as evidenced by a permit issued in September 2018, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available records. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, the management has generally addressed them through appropriate channels, with most recent complaints showing proper closure through either resolution or inspection.
