132 East 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

132 East 72nd Street is a 15-story, 17-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1925 under the NEW LAW TENEMENT classification and currently owned by James Herring. The building has undergone several significant events in recent years, most notably a construction safety incident in late 2019 that resulted in a Stop Work Order related to roof protection inadequacies, for which JEPOL CONSTRUCTION INC received a $2,500 fine.

This incident followed a pattern of construction-related safety concerns, including a 2021 violation for failure to maintain the exterior facade, specifically noting spalled bricks on both the south and west elevations at the third floor. The building has been subject to regular rodent inspections since at least 2010, passing all inspections, and has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any unit since at least 2018.

The property underwent elevator-related inspections and work in 2022, as evidenced by the involvement of Centennial Elevator and associated certifications. The building's permit history shows activity in early 2020 and mid-2019 for elevator work, though specific details of the work performed are not provided in the available data. Importantly, there have been no recent complaints or violations reported since 2021, suggesting an improvement in building maintenance and compliance, and the most recent bedbug reports through December 2024 show no infestations or eradication cases to note.
