444 East 52nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

444 East 52nd Street is a 10-story, 51-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Jennifer Granda. The building's recent history has been marked by several important events, particularly related to construction work and compliance issues. In 2020, there was a notable incident involving construction safety compliance, resulting in a stop-work order and subsequent violation against contractor Skyline Restoration Inc for work not conforming to approved plans, though this violation was later resolved with a $625 penalty.

The building has faced multiple Department of Buildings violations over the years, including a 2019 failure to file required FISP Cycle 8C technical report (currently active as of 2025), a 2024 failure to submit an EER which was dismissed, and several elevator-related violations in 2019-2021 that were resolved through proper certification. The building's maintenance record has shown generally good results in terms of pest control and building upkeep. Bedbug reports from 2018 through 2024 consistently show zero infested units, indicating effective management of this potential issue.

Regular rodent inspections have been conducted, with the most recent one in February 2025 showing a passing result, and previous inspections dating back to 2010 also indicating no rodent issues. The building's permit history shows at least two elevator-related permits were issued in 2020 and 2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts for vertical transportation systems. While there have been multiple violations recorded, many have been resolved through proper channels, though attention to the active FISP violation and recent EER submission issue is warranted.
