239 East 60th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

The 6-unit, 5-story building at 239 East 60th Street, owned by Sam Schinderman and built in 1910, has experienced several notable events and maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning are three active Department of Buildings violations from 2024 and 2023 related to the failure to file required External Low Pressure Inspection reports for 2022 and 2023, and a violation from 2019 for not submitting the 2017 Boiler Inspection report.

The building has also had three consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though records indicate no actual infestations during these periods, with all reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building has had some heating issues, with a heat/hot water complaint received in January 2019 affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

However, the property has maintained a strong record in other areas, passing multiple rodent inspections from 2010 through 2019, with consistent compliance shown through successful inspections over this extended period. The building's age and history, combined with the recent active violations related to safety inspections and documentation, suggest some ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, while the absence of actual pest infestations or significant rodent issues indicates generally appropriate building maintenance practices in other areas.
