411 East 57th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

The 17-story building at 411 East 57th Street in Midtown, owned by 411 East 57th Corp and constructed in 1959, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, Apartment 3B has multiple open violations as of January 2024, including problems with interior surfaces requiring plaster and paint repairs in the kitchen, bathroom, foyer, and private hallway, along with issues relating to defective wood cabinets. The apartment also has open violations for missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as rodent (mice and roaches) infestations.

The building has faced recurring heating system problems, with complaints reported in October 2023 (entire building) and January 2024 (apartment only), though inspections either found no violations or were unable to gain access for inspection. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating, plumbing, and flooring issues over the past two years. In addition to the heating problems, there was a plumbing complaint regarding a toilet in July 2023 and flooring issues reported in both June and January 2024.

The property has had some regulatory challenges, with multiple violations regarding the failure to submit an Energy Efficiency Report (EER) between 2019 and 2022, though these were ultimately dismissed in 2023. While the building has demonstrated compliance in recent rodent inspections, with a "Passed" result in March 2025, there was an initial rat activity inspection in January 2025 that raises concerns about persistent pest management challenges. Bedbug reports for the past seven years show no infestations in the building, suggesting effective pest control measures in this regard.
