416 East 50th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

At 416 East 50th Street, a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Midtown and owned by Yohan Fettaya, several significant maintenance issues have emerged in recent months. Most notably, in early 2025, there were complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development were unable to access the premises for verification. The building has also faced multiple regulatory challenges in 2025, with eight related complaints between April 15-17 citing unlicensed/illegal/improper work in progress, resulting in a partial Stop Work Order, though inspections later led to these being fully rescinded by July 11, 2025.

Additionally, there is currently an active gas utility referral complaint filed in April 2025 that remains unresolved as of this report date. The building's maintenance history shows a generally positive record outside these recent issues. There have been no reported incidents of bedbug infestations in the past year (December 2023 filing), and rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2011 through 2025 have consistently passed.

The heat and hot water issues reported in January 2025 marked the first heating system complaint on record in recent years. The building's regulatory compliance history shows periodic work requiring inspection, as evidenced by several permit-related complaints in April 2025, though these were also eventually resolved. The property was constructed in 1910 and has been maintained to generally meet housing codes, with the recent cluster of complaints indicating possible ongoing renovation or maintenance activities that have prompted increased regulatory scrutiny.
