318 East 59th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

318 East 59th Street is a 5-story, 18-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Jason Fein. The building has experienced recurring pest-related issues over the past several years, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions due to pests documented in March 2023, though these complaints were ultimately closed without violations being issued. More recent complaints include a mailbox-related issue in March 2025, which was also closed without finding any housing law violations.

The building's maintenance history shows some notable violations in 2018 and 2022, including issues with mold in Apartment 4B (June 2018), missing required safety notices, and failure to properly post certain building information. An illegal hotel room complaint from October 2018 could not be investigated due to access issues. The property has successfully maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, with no documented cases of infestation during this period.

Recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2025 have passed, though there was some historical rat activity noted in 2016 and multiple instances of facility-related issues in 2018. The building's management has shown responsiveness to some issues, as evidenced by the prompt closure of recent complaints, but the recurrence of pest-related issues and various safety notice violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has generally maintained compliance with basic housing code requirements in recent years, though there have been periodic lapses as noted in inspection and complaint records.
