768 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10065

The five-story, six-unit building at 768 Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side, owned by Aaron Kitaeff, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in mid-2023, there were substantial complaints regarding both ceiling and floor conditions, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations. These followed an emergency plumbing issue related to a radiator from late 2022, which was also resolved without violations.

A significant violation was recorded in April 2021 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though subsequent reports from 2019 through 2024 show no infestations. Recent mechanical and safety concerns include a 2023 issue with an unregistered boiler that resulted in a $625 penalty, though this was resolved. The building has maintained high standards of pest control, with passed rodent inspections in 2019-2023, including a rat activity report in February 2023 that was subsequently resolved.

The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting since its implementation, consistently showing zero infested units. Building permits from 2020-2021 indicate ongoing management attention to maintenance requirements, with specific permits issued for electrical work. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, most have been addressed promptly and have not resulted in recurring violations or significant resident impacts.
