217 East 60th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

217 East 60th Street is a 6-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1985, currently owned by Maria Velissaris. The Upper East Side property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with four documented complaints between late 2022 and 2024 indicating building-wide problems, including two in April 2024 and one each in December 2022 and January 2023. In addition to these heating system concerns, there was one report of unsanitary conditions related to pests in November 2022.

The building's elevator system has also faced significant challenges, with a violation issued in July 2023 for being out of service, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. Prior elevator-related issues include multiple violations between 2018-2019, including failure to comply with a commissioner's order and equipment malfunction concerns, with some violations still showing as active as of 2023. The property has a history of maintaining pest control measures, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024), and consistent rodent inspection results showing passed inspections from 2010 through 2019.

Housing Maintenance Code violations have been addressed in a timely manner, including a door self-closing mechanism repair in December 2022. The building's management has filed required annual bedbug reports, showing zero infestation, eradication, or re-infestation cases in recent years. While the property has experienced multiple heat and elevator issues, it has maintained compliance with rodent control regulations and demonstrated effective pest management practices, with no documented bedbug problems since 2021.
