401 East 57th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

The four-story, two-family house at 401 East 57th Street, built in 1900 and currently owned by Vipin Garg, has experienced several notable events in recent years, particularly regarding health and safety compliance. Most recently, in September 2024, the building received an indoor air quality complaint related to ventilation, which prompted the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to issue an advisory to the property management.

In the past, the building had two food establishment-related complaints in 2022-2023, though both were administratively closed with indications that the issues were addressed. A Department of Buildings complaint regarding work without a permit in September 2021 was inspected the same day and determined to have no warranted violation.

While the building has had its share of complaints, it is worth noting the property's consistent satisfactory performance in rodent inspections, with passed results recorded in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2016, 2017, 2018, and most recently in January 2025, indicating generally good maintenance in this regard. The building's food establishment complaints and the recent ventilation issue suggest areas requiring ongoing attention, though the absence of recent major violations or safety concerns is a positive aspect of the current status.
