41 East 68th Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

41 East 68th Street is a 6-story, 12-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1911 and currently owned by Jed Arkin. The building's most recent significant issue involves door security, with a Class C violation issued in May 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors at the building entrance, while a previous violation from April 2024 remained open concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports.

The property experienced multiple heating system complaints in late 2018, with emergency calls regarding heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building between November and December 2018. In 2019, there were additional door-related violations, including an open Class B violation concerning the entrance door at apartment 3A and an open Class C violation regarding a required heating system notice in the public hall. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest control, with no documented bedbug infestations across multiple reporting periods from 2019 through 2025.

Regular rodent inspections have been conducted between 2010 and 2019, with all inspections passing successfully. While the building has faced some maintenance challenges, particularly with heating systems and door security, the frequent rodent inspections and consistent bedbug monitoring suggest active management of these common urban concerns. The most pressing current issue appears to be the unresolved door security violation from 2024.
