14 East 64th Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

14 East 64th Street is a historic 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, dating back to 1879 and currently owned by Dianes Galindo. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with two major outages reported in 2023 and 2020 that affected the entire building, though most recent complaints indicate these issues were promptly addressed. Water-related problems have also been significant, particularly in late 2022 when both heavy and slow leaks were reported from Apartment 4B, resulting in multiple HPD violations that remain unresolved as of the latest inspection.

The building faced pest control challenges in 2020, with several complaints about pest infestations including cockroaches, mice, and rats documented across multiple inspections, though rodent inspections since 2017 show mostly passing results. Recent records indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, with open violations from October 2022 including door repairs and ceiling painting requirements in Apartment 4B. The building has experienced some safety concerns, notably in 2020 when construction work on the roof led to an incident where a tool fell onto a fourth-floor balcony, resulting in a $10,000 ECB violation.

There were also tenant safety violations regarding the failure to post tenant protection plans during construction activities, leading to additional penalties. However, the building has maintained good compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations in recent filings between 2019 and 2024. The property has a history of proper permit acquisition for various maintenance and improvement projects, with the most recent permits issued in 2020 covering plumbing and electrical work.
