16 Sutton Place South, Manhattan, NY 10022

16 Sutton Place South is a 20-story, 56-unit residential building constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Scott Peckelis. The property has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, including multiple violations in 2021 involving Apartment 7A, with documented problems including mold in the bathroom ceiling, defective plastered surfaces, and issues with self-closing doors and locks.

While these violations were officially closed in June 2021, the building has faced ongoing regulatory challenges, including an active ECB violation from May 2022 regarding expired construction equipment permits related to facade work, and a current DOB violation from December 2021 concerning failure to display energy efficiency scores. Most recently, in March 2025, two tenant safety inspections were conducted with no violations documented. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to permits and inspections, with multiple work permits issued between 2019 and 2021 for various maintenance activities.

Encouragingly, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past seven reporting periods (2018-2025), with no documented cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. While some historical complaints have been filed regarding excessive debris (2020) and illegal after-hours work (2020), these issues either resulted in no violations or have been resolved. The combination of recent tenant safety inspections showing no violations and the lack of bedbug infestations over multiple years suggests improved building conditions, though the active violations related to energy efficiency displays and construction equipment permits indicate some ongoing regulatory compliance matters.
