405 Main Street, Manhattan, NY 10044

The 405 Main Street building on Roosevelt Island, managed by owner Christopher Schmidt, is a 242-unit, 17-story Class A residential building constructed in 2007. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, most notably during 2022-2023 when there were multiple complaints about water leaks, including a slow leak in January 2022, heavy flow in April 2022, and most recently damp spots in October 2023. These plumbing issues have generally been addressed, with HPD inspections finding no violations in some cases, though a mold problem related to water leakage was classified as an emergency in January 2022.

The building suffered a significant heat and hot water outage affecting all units in October 2019, though services were reportedly restored promptly. More recent maintenance records show relatively few persistent issues, with the last documented electrical problems occurring in October 2018 involving lighting and outlet/switch issues. The building's elevator system appears to have required attention in late 2021, with multiple violations being resolved by August 2022.

On the pest control front, the building has maintained a generally good record, with only one dwelling unit (8M) needing sprinkler head remediation in 2018 and only two units showing bedbug activity in late 2020, though with successful eradication. Recent inspections in 2021 showed no rodent issues, maintaining a consistent pattern of passing these inspections since at least 2015. The most recent building violation from 2023 regarding energy efficiency display requirements was dismissed in March 2025.
