33 East 70th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

33 East 70th Street is a 12-story, 62-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Mark Simonian. The building has experienced several compliance issues in recent years, particularly regarding required pressure system inspections, with multiple violations recorded between 2019 and 2024 for failure to file both high and low pressure inspection reports. Most recently, in September 2024, there were violations issued for not filing the 2023 external low pressure inspection, though these were dismissed by December 2024.

The property has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with all six annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building has also consistently passed rodent inspections, with ten inspections conducted between 2010 and 2019 all resulting in "Passed" ratings. The Department of Buildings (DOB) has conducted several inspections in response to specific complaints, including a 2022 Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspection and a 2021 Construction Enforcement Work Order, both of which found no violations.

The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and work being performed, with multiple "EW" (emergency work) permits issued between 2019 and 2022, along with plumbing and electrical permits. A notable citation prior to 2023 was for failing to display the energy efficiency score and grade, though this violation was dismissed in 2022. While there have been periodic violations regarding inspection filing requirements, these have generally been resolved or dismissed through proper remediation or compliance, and the building's overall maintenance record suggests active management, particularly in maintaining pest control and responding to regulatory requirements.
