720 Park Avenue is an 18-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Upper East Side, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Nick Cornish. The building has experienced several significant mechanical issues, most notably a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in January 2021, though this was resolved within 24 hours according to both HPD and DOB records.

The property has undergone regular compliance inspections under Local Law 188/17, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing no violations, following a similar finding in November 2023. Historical issues have included a July 2020 violation for exterior maintenance concerns, specifically broken stone work at the 11th story and spalled water table issues between the 13th and 14th floors, which resulted in a $2,500 penalty that has since been resolved. The building has maintained an exemplary record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years (2018-2025) and consistently passing rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019.

The property has had various DOB violations in recent years, including a 2021 violation regarding energy efficiency score display requirements, and multiple violations in late 2020 that were resolved by December of that year. The building's maintenance record shows regular permit activity, with several elevator-related permits issued in 2019, suggesting proactive maintenance of essential building systems. While the property has experienced some mechanical issues, particularly regarding heating systems, these have generally been addressed promptly, and the building maintains a solid record of compliance with health and safety inspections.
