434 East 58th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

This five-story, 24-unit Old Law Tenement building located at 434 East 58th Street in Midtown, Manhattan, has been under the ownership of Judith Katz since construction in 1930. The property has experienced several notable structural and maintenance issues in recent years, including an active Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection case as of August 2024, though a similar case from January 2024 was closed with no violations found.

An ECB violation was recorded in April 2023 regarding building maintenance, specifically citing a significant crack on the fifth floor and problems with window air conditioner support, resulting in a $625 penalty. The building's rodent infestation history shows mixed results, with a rat sighting complaint in July 2021 leading to a Health Department inspection that found no violations, and regular rodent inspections since 2012 generally passing, though there were bait applications in late 2021. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units.

The property management has demonstrated ongoing efforts to address building maintenance and compliance requirements, as evidenced by the issuance of multiple equipment-related permits from 2019 through 2023, all associated with job number 140822368. Regular inspections and compliance checks appear to be a part of the building's management routine, though the active Local Law 188/17 case from August 2024 suggests some outstanding compliance requirements remain. The combination of periodic violations, ongoing compliance inspections, and regular maintenance requirements indicates an active management approach, though the presence of structural issues documented in 2023 raises some concerns about building maintenance conditions.
