119 East 64th Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

The 4-story, 10-unit building at 119 East 64th Street in the Upper East Side, owned by Joe D'Angelo, has faced several recurring maintenance challenges since 2019, with the most significant issues occurring between 2019-2020. During this period, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, particularly focusing on mold (documented in February, March, and May 2020), window frame issues, plumbing problems with a radiator, and concerns about cooking gas.

Apartment 2B emerged as a particular area of concern, with multiple violations issued in May 2020 regarding mold, damaged plaster and paint, defective wood floor repairs, and door closure issues. The building has also faced administrative scrutiny, receiving multiple open violations between 2021-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though the most recent rodent inspections (2018-2019) showed consistently passed results, except for one instance of rat activity in 2018. The property experienced two significant complaints in early 2020 regarding boiler issues and potentially illegal conversion, though these were ultimately found not to warrant violations upon inspection.

While there were several Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in 2020, many of these were either closed or resolved, with the exception of the open violation for failing to file bedbug reports. The Department of Buildings issued violations in 2020 regarding the heating system/boiler room sign visibility, with a penalty imposed, though records indicate this was resolved. Recent complaints and violations appear to have decreased significantly, with no major issues reported between 2021-2023, suggesting improved maintenance responsiveness from the management.
