7 East 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

7 East 74th Street is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building located in the Upper East Side, constructed in 1893 and currently owned by Kenny Devisevic. The building has experienced several maintenance issues and violations over the past few years, with the most significant problems occurring between October 2022 and mid-2023.

These issues included multiple complaints regarding paint/plaster problems (particularly ceilings), a heating and hot water system failure (though not requiring heat at the time of inspection), and various infrastructure concerns including water leaks, flooring/stairs problems, ventilation system issues, and appliance concerns. The most recent violations, as of July 2023, are primarily concentrated in Apartment 5, involving issues with self-closing doors, plaster surfaces, water leaks, and unauthorized alterations, though some of these were previously categorized as resolved. The building has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the last two filing periods (2022-2023 and 2021-2022).

It has also maintained a clean record regarding rodent inspections, consistently passing all evaluations from 2010 through 2019. However, there are currently two active violations from 2019 and 2023 that require attention: one related to the failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report and another regarding improper boiler operation. The property management has demonstrated a pattern of addressing most maintenance issues, as evidenced by the closure of numerous service requests and violations, though some recent violations remain open as of the latest available data.
