122 East 61st Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

122 East 61st Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Joshua Rosen. The building, which has undergone conversion to a Class A property, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints and emergency responses between 2020 and 2023. Most notably, during November 2021, there were several consecutive complaints about inadequate heat and hot water that resulted in both violations and multiple inspections, including violations related to sanitation conditions in June 2021.

The building also had a notable maintenance issue in November 2021 when violations were issued regarding the conditions of Apartment 3B, including problems with plaster surfaces, wall paint, bathroom fixtures, and a reported rodent infestation. More recent building history shows some maintenance improvements, with the most recent bedbug reporting (2025) showing no infested units, and a passed rodent inspection in February 2023, continuing a pattern of successful rodent inspections since 2010. A plumbing issue was reported in March 2023 regarding bathtub/shower problems, though no violations were issued following the HPD inspection.

The building's heat and hot water systems have shown intermittent reliability, as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2020-2022, though there have been no recorded heating complaints since 2022. Additionally, there was one violation issued in 2021 requiring the posting of the superintendent's contact information in the entrance area, which appears to have been corrected based on subsequent records. Regular bedbug filings since 2019 show consistent reporting of zero infested units, demonstrating effective pest management practices.
