40 East 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The five-story, seven-unit building at 40 East 74th Street, owned by Peter Hein, was constructed in 1871 and has undergone class A conversion. The property experienced significant heating and hot water issues in November 2018, with multiple HPD complaints and violations related to inadequate heat and hot water affecting the entire building and specifically apartment 3R. These violations were ultimately resolved, with heat and hot water being restored according to HPD records.

In late 2018, the building also faced security concerns regarding its entrance, with violations issued for improper electromagnetic locking devices and inadequate mechanical security during power outages; these security issues remained open until 2024 when they were finally certified as corrected. The building has maintained a satisfactory record in recent years regarding pest management, with annual bedbug reports filed between 2021 and 2024 showing no infested or re-infested units. Regular rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2010, indicating effective pest control measures.

The building's earlier violation history from 1991 included issues with security at the cellar ladder and various safety signage requirements, though these were eventually resolved. As of April 2024, all known violations, including those related to bedbug reporting requirements and building security, have been addressed according to the most recent certified dates. The building experienced one non-violation inspection in 2019 regarding permits, showing no warrant for further action. Current records up to October 2023 show no ongoing violations or maintenance issues, suggesting improved management of building systems and compliance with housing codes in recent years.
