28 East 70th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021
28 East 70th Street is a 15-story, 11-unit residential building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by John Derlaga. The building has undergone significant construction work, particularly in 2019, which generated multiple complaints and violations. During late 2019, the building faced several Construction Safety Compliance (CSC) Actions, including issues with scaffold installation, pedestrian protection, and failure to maintain proper egress.
The Department of Buildings issued multiple ECB violations during this period, with penalties totaling over $8,000, though most were later resolved. Three separate "Stop Work Orders" were fully rescinded, and there were multiple instances of failure to maintain proper records or logs for site safety orientations. The building's recent history shows relatively few ongoing issues. In 2023, there was a complaint about illegal after-hours work, but this was investigated and found to have no violations at the time.
The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all annual reports since 2017 showing zero infested units. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted between 2010 and 2019, consistently passing all inspections. Regarding elevator safety, there were various violations in 2019 related to certification issues, but these were resolved between 2020 and 2022. The building's permit history shows multiple work permits being issued between 2019 and 2020, corresponding with the period of construction activity and associated violations.
