243 East 59th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022
The five-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement building at 243 East 59th Street, owned by Frank Pimentel, has been in operation since 1910 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade. Most notably, from 2018 through 2024, there were recurring violations related to the filing of annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code requirements, with these violations continuing up to the most recent inspection in April 2024.
The building also had serious maintenance issues in 2018, including an open Class C violation for inadequate hot water provision in apartment 3D and another Class C violation regarding access to the building's heating system. The property has a documented history of rodent-related issues, with multiple complaints recorded in 2020, including rat sightings in June and July, though subsequent inspections passed in June and August 2020. The building underwent several inspections between 2021 and 2023 for work without permits, with the most recent inspections in October 2023 showing compliance.
There was one building stability complaint in 2021 that resulted in no violations being found. Importantly, the most recent bedbug reports for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 reporting periods show zero infested units, indicating successful management of that particular issue in recent years. The building's inspection record from 2016 through 2023 shows consistent compliance with rodent inspections, with only one instance of rat activity noted in June 2020 among predominantly "Passed" results.
