55 East 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

55 East 72nd Street is a 15-story, 29-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1924, currently owned by 72nd Street & Park Corporation. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most significant recurring problems involving garbage/recycling storage conditions.

Between August 2022 and June 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions in this area, though no violations were ultimately issued. Other maintenance concerns during this period included problems with the elevator, water leaks, door issues, and window safety concerns, all of which were eventually closed without violations. The building has three active violations as of June 2023, related to failure to file required inspection documents: the 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection, the Energy Efficiency Score disclosure, and the FISP Cycle 8B Technical Report.

The property has maintained an impeccable bedbug record over the past seven reporting periods from 2019 to 2025, with zero reported infestations. Rodent inspections have shown occasional rat activity, most notably in August 2022, but a subsequent compliance inspection in October 2022 resulted in a passing status. The building's permit history shows several routine maintenance and repair permits issued between 2018-2019, though specific details of these work permits are not listed in the provided data.
