6 East 68th Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

The 7-story, 14-unit building at 6 East 68th Street, owned by Burton Wallack, has been undergoing several significant maintenance and compliance challenges in recent years. Most notably, as of February 2024, there are active violations related to exterior wall maintenance, with documented cracking on the south and west elevations, for which a penalty of $1,250 has been imposed. Additionally, the building failed to file the FISP Cycle 9C technical report by the February 21, 2024 deadline, representing an important safety compliance oversight.

While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with all reports showing zero infested or eradicated units, there was a bedbug reporting violation noted in February 2022 that has since been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows both improvements and ongoing concerns. Between 2020 and 2024, multiple work permits were issued for various projects, including plumbing and electrical work, suggesting regular upkeep of building systems.

The property has passed several rodent inspections from 2010 through 2019, indicating effective pest management in this area. Historical records from 1982 show violations related to garbage storage in public areas and ceiling repairs in the boiler room, though these issues appear to have been resolved. Of particular note is the building's recent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings (2023-2024) showing no infestations, though there was a violation in 2022 regarding the failure to submit the annual report on time. The building's unit count and basic structural details have remain unchanged since the last significant renovation period in the early 1980s, when it transitioned to a Class A building.
