235 East 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021
235 East 73rd Street is a 12-story, 84-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1936 and currently owned by Denise Lawlor. The building has experienced several concerning issues in 2025, with the most significant being three serious complaints about building shaking/vibrations in May 2025, though inspections did not reveal violations. Recent maintenance concerns include multiple HPD-logged issues on May 28, 2025, covering various problems such as water leaks, door/window issues, electrical concerns, and paint/plaster conditions, all of which were found not to violate housing laws during inspections.
The building has a notable history of water-related problems, evidenced by housing maintenance code violations in September 2024 regarding leaks in the first-story public hall, and has had multiple water leak complaints in 2025. The building's infrastructure appears to be under ongoing scrutiny, with several active Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to submit required documentation between 2019-2024, and a pattern of electrical and plumbing issues reported through both 311 complaints and housing maintenance code complaints. While the building has passed all recent bedbug inspections (2021-2024) and rodent inspections (2016-2019), there have been recurring issues with maintenance compliance, as seen in multiple emergencies in 2025 involving doors/windows and electrical systems.
Notable violations from 2019 included construction safety compliance issues, though these were resolved. The building has generated regular service requests and inspections for various maintenance issues, including a significant number of complaints related to electrical systems, water leaks, and general maintenance concerns. Of particular note is the building's recent pattern of complaints regarding building vibrations in early 2025, though inspections generally found no violations at the time. The property has maintained a consistent record of addressing hygiene concerns, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, and has complied with rodent monitoring requirements, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in 2016 inspections.
