225 East 70th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021
225 East 70th Street is a 12-story, 90-unit residential building constructed in 1961 and currently owned by Donald Manocherian. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, particularly notable during the winter months of 2024 when multiple complaints were filed regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, with HPD noting difficulties in gaining access to units for inspection.
More recently, in May 2025, an open safety complaint was filed regarding the fire escape system, which remains unresolved at this time. The building has maintained an active bedbug prevention and monitoring program, with no reported infestations in recent years, and has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2016-2020, with only one failed inspection noted in 2019.
Of particular concern is the building's current status regarding safety compliance, with an active "Unsafe Notification" for the façade (filed in 2022) and open violations related to emergency response requirements. The building has also experienced elevator maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations between 2019-2025, including three separate ECB violations related to elevator maintenance in 2019 with penalties imposed totaling $2,500. While the building has made efforts to address various system requirements, including obtaining work permits in 2021 and 2022 for unspecified improvements, there remains a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding building systems and safety features.
