223 East 59th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

Located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, 223 East 59th Street is a three-story, three-unit building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Vlady Sheynin. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water service throughout 2024, with multiple complaints filed through HPD between March and December 2024, some of which resulted in emergency responses.

The building has also faced challenges with pest control, as evidenced by unsanitary condition complaints related to pests in April 2024 and most recently in December 2024, though HPD inspections were often unable to gain access for verification. Additional maintenance concerns include violations related to hot water temperature control (exceeding 130 degrees) in Apartment 3, and problems with mechanical air vents in the bathroom of that unit, which remain in open violation status as of 2025. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2010 through 2019, all of which passed, indicating good pest control performance in previous years.

Bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024 show zero cases of infestation or re-infestation. On the maintenance and infrastructure front, several permits were issued in 2018 and 2019 for plumbing work, suggesting some system upgrades or repairs were undertaken during that period. Notably, there have been multiple instances where HPD was unable to access apartments for inspection purposes, particularly during heat and hot water complaints, highlighting potential access coordination issues between tenants and enforcement agencies.
