128 East 62nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

The 4-story, 8-unit building at 128 East 62nd Street on the Upper East Side, owned by Aryeh Baraban, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably regarding heating and hot water systems. In December 2024, multiple violations were documented following inspections on December 28, including hot water temperature violations exceeding 130 degrees in apartment 3R, inadequate heat supply in the same apartment, and issues with self-closing doors in the basement area.

These violations, classified as Class C, indicate serious concerns that required correction. The building has also faced regulatory compliance challenges, with active violations recorded in June 2023 for failure to file External Low Pressure Inspections for 2020 and 2021, though a similar violation from April 2022 was dismissed in July 2023. Earlier in 2024, the building received several Class A violations related to safety compliance during an October inspection, including failures to post required notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and building registration information in common areas.

A December 2023 complaint regarding after-hours work was investigated but found to have no violations. The property has maintained a generally good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations between 2023-2025, and consistently passed rodent inspections from 2010 to 2023. While some repairs and safety improvements have been addressed, such as the June 2020 permit issuance for exterior work, the building has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, door mechanisms, and safety compliance notices, particularly in the most recent year of records available.
