230 East 71st Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

230 East 71st Street is a 6-story, 60-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Dawn Harris. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most significant recent problems occurring in late 2021 when two emergency heat/hot water complaints were reported and subsequently resolved.

Earlier in 2021, there was a documented water leak affecting both the bathroom and private hallway of Apartment 3D, which resulted in multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, though these were certified as corrected by October 2021. The building has a documented history of rodent issues, with multiple inspections between 2019 and 2021 showing rat activity, though recent bedbug reporting (for 2024) indicates no current infestations. The Department of Buildings conducted several tenant safety inspections between 2018 and 2021, with most showing no violations, though a 2019 Category 5 inspection violation was recorded and later dismissed.

The building's maintenance record shows consistent monitoring and response to issues, with multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2021 for various works, including plumbing and electrical work. During the COVID-19 pandemic, inspections conducted in 2020 found no violations related to executive orders. The building's management has maintained an up-to-date bedbug reporting record for the past seven years, consistently showing zero infested or re-infested units.
