150 East 69Th Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

The 28-story, 378-unit building at 150 East 69th Street in the Upper East Side, owned by Alison Levy and completed in 1959, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, most recently reported in September 2024 when HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The building has undergone several significant events and inspections over the past few years, including multiple complaints and violations related to construction work and elevator maintenance in 2021-2022.

In March 2021, there was an incident involving tampering with a posted stop work order and unauthorized work in apartment 26K, leading to violations totaling $5,000 in penalties, though these were ultimately dismissed. The building has maintained a bedbug-free record for the past four years (2021-2024) according to official filings, and while there have been some rodent inspection failures in 2018 and 2025, the majority of inspections in recent years have passed. More recent concerns include three active DOB violations as of 2025: a stop work order issued in January 2025, failure to submit an EER in 2023, and failure to file the FISP Cycle 9C technical report by February 2024.

The elevator systems have required multiple repairs and inspections, as evidenced by several permits issued between 2021-2024, including work related to emergency elevator maintenance. The building's environmental compliance history shows periodic issues with compliance and certification requirements, particularly in 2021 when multiple violations were issued for failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations, though these were ultimately resolved. The property has also been subject to various health department inspections, including food establishment and mobile food vendor inspections in 2023-2024, indicating ongoing monitoring of building services and amenities.
