436 East 58th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

The 5-story, 24-unit property at 436 East 58th Street, owned by Santo Pusateri, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in July 2024, multiple violations were recorded by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) related to pest infestation, with specific reports of roach problems in apartment 1B, and issues with the building's intercom system.

Additional HPD violations from August and September 2024 indicate problems with self-closing doors in public areas, including defects at the vestibule door and rear yard door, though these issues were subsequently addressed and closed. The building, constructed in 1930 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, has also faced some safety compliance matters. In August 2024, multiple violations were recorded in apartment 1B, including missing carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and problems with the door bell system, all of which were certified as corrected by October 2024.

The property has had active complaints for Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections, with the most recent opened in August 2024, though the previous 2024 complaint resulted in no violations being found. An elevator maintenance violation was recorded in October 2021, which prompted an Oath Violation to be served. While the building has maintained a clean record for bed bugs, with no infestations reported in the past six years, and successfully passed multiple rodent inspections between 2010 and 2025, the recent cluster of violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that have required multiple rounds of inspections and corrections.
