Augrented Insights Report for 235 East 59th Street

235 East 59th Street is a 64-unit, 5-story residential building constructed in 1960 in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood, currently owned by Eric Berliner. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with six documented complaints between 2018 and 2022, though in each case, heat and hot water were reported as restored before inspection. More recent concerns include unaddressed ceiling paint/plaster issues reported in September 2023, which HPD was unable to inspect, and ongoing elevator problems with safety violations recorded between 2020 and 2021, including inoperative safety features that required fines.

The elevator service continues to show problematic patterns, with complaints filed in July 2021, December 2020, and most recently in October 2023, though inspections in October 2023 found no violations. The building currently has multiple active housing maintenance code violations from 2024, including issues with self-closing doors throughout the building (notably in 2L and 5M), unfiled annual bedbug reports, and a missing carbon monoxide detector notice. Previous violations from 2019 regarding failure to file energy benchmarking reports remain active.

However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2021, with zero reported cases. Regular rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019 consistently passed, suggesting effective pest management. The property received necessary permits for some work in May 2019, though specific details of the work are not provided in the available data.
