115 East 71st Street, Manhattan, NY 10021
115 East 71st Street is a 6-story, 30-unit residential building constructed in 1965 and currently owned by Bernard Friedman. The building has experienced persistent heating and maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple heat/hot water complaints recorded, including a recent April 2025 complaint that was not able to be inspected. In 2024-2025, there were also concerns about the building's ventilation system and rodent activity, with rat sightings reported in December 2024 and January 2025.
The property has a documented history of pest problems, with violations issued in 2022 for vermin water bug infestation in the cellar apartment G1. The building's infrastructure has faced scrutiny, particularly regarding its boiler system. In October 2022, two separate complaints were made about defective/inoperative boilers, resulting in ECB violations for unregistered equipment and improper storage conditions.
The property also had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations identified in 2024 related to door functionality and safety systems, including issues with self-closing doors and latch sets in various locations such as the compactor closet and fire stairs. While there have been some air quality concerns documented in 2022 regarding chemical vapors/gases/odors, these were investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene with no violations cited. The building has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections, with most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, though a rat activity notice was recorded in January 2025. Bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate minimal infestation history, with only one unit reported in 2022 that was subsequently eradicated.
