3 East 69th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

3 East 69th Street is a 12-story, 31-unit residential building constructed in 1938 and currently owned by Carole Rosenberg. The Upper East Side property has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, most significantly regarding its facade maintenance and compliance with Local Law 188/17. In early 2023, violations were issued for failure to maintain the building's exterior facade, with documented cracked brickwork at the northern side of the roof bulkhead, resulting in a $1,250 penalty that remains active.

The building has also faced challenges with inspection access, as demonstrated by two inspection attempts in October 2023 that resulted in "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" notations. The building's recent history reveals several concerning incidents affecting resident comfort and safety. In 2019, there were documented issues with indoor air quality and heat/hot water systems, though the heat complaint investigation found no violations.

The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record between 2019 and 2024, consistently showing zero infested units, indicating effective pest management. Regular rodent inspections between 2011 and 2019 generally passed, with one instance of recorded rat activity in September 2017. Compliance with various building codes has been irregular, evidenced by multiple violations for failing to timely submit required inspection reports, including the FISP Cycle 9A Technical Report in 2022. While many previous violations have been resolved, and the building has maintained a consistent pattern of submitting required permits for maintenance work, the persistence of recent facade-related violations and inspection access issues raises ongoing concerns about building maintenance and compliance responsiveness.
