220 East 70th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021
220 East 70th Street is a 16-story, 64-unit residential building constructed in 1986 and currently owned by Monique Marcus. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most pressing being a 2024 discovery of facade problems including bulging and displaced brick masonry at roof level on the west elevation, which resulted in multiple active violations and penalty assessments totaling $3,780.
The building underwent facade remediation work that generated several complaints and violations related to safety measures and permit compliance throughout 2024-2025, including issues with scaffold stability and missing safety features that warranted a $1,250 penalty. Recent maintenance concerns include simultaneous September 2024 reports of mold and a water leak, both of which were inspected by HPD with no violations found. The building's history shows some consistency in bedbug management, with all recent reports (2022-2024) indicating zero infested units, though there had been two reported cases in 2021-2022.
Notable historical issues include an elevator-related violation in 2019 (dismissed after penalties were paid) and multiple facade-related violations between 2021-2024, including a 2021 unsafe facade notification under Local Law 11/98. The property's maintenance history shows regular rodent inspection compliance from 2010 to 2019, consistently passing all inspections. While the building has experienced recurring facade maintenance issues requiring monitoring and inspection, recent bedbug and rodent control records suggest effective pest management practices are currently in place.
