238 East 60th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

238 East 60th Street is a 5-story, 5-unit residential building built in 1910 and currently owned by Guy Altberg. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water emergency reported in February 2024 that could not be inspected by HPD due to lack of access to the apartment.

In 2023, there was significant activity related to unauthorized work, with multiple complaints filed regarding work contrary to a stop work order between January and May, resulting in two Environmental Control Board violations - one for continuing work during the stop work order ($12,500 penalty) and another for work without a permit ($2,500 penalty). These violations were eventually resolved by June 2023. The building has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with zero reported bedbug incidents in the mandatory annual filings from 2020 to 2024, and successful rodent inspections passing consistently from 2010 through to 2019.

A notable maintenance issue was documented in 2022 regarding the building's parapet wall on the roof level, which was reported to be in disrepair with loose coping stones, cracks, and bulging issues, though this violation was resolved. The building's six consecutive annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show no infestations, and all rodent inspections over the past decade have passed, indicating generally good pest control management. While there have been several complaints and violations, most have been promptly addressed and resolved, with the exception of the 2024 heat and hot water complaint which remains unresolved due to access issues.
