AI summary · updated June 2026

232 East 74th Street is a 6-story, 22-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Ben Ohebshalom. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2022 and 2024, including a recent October 2024 complaint that was closed without access being granted for inspection. The building has also faced sanitation challenges, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage, with violations issued in 2023, and currently has open violations from June 2024 related to improper waste disposal and receptacle maintenance. Safety concerns have been documented, including an egress violation in July 2023 for an obstructed exit passageway that carries a $6,250 penalty. The building has undergone several inspections for rodent activity, with evidence of rat presence noted in 2021-2022, though inspections in previous years (2018-2019) showed compliance.

The property has a history of various maintenance issues requiring attention, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations. These include emergency violations in 2023-2024 related to heat/hot water systems, and other concerns such as door/window problems and plumbing issues. A 2021 inspection revealed several maintenance needs including repairs to public hall areas such as broken tiles, handrails, and door self-closing mechanisms, though many of these violations have since been addressed. The building's bedbug monitoring program has shown consistent compliance from 2019 to the present, with no reported infestations in any of the past six filing periods. While there have been some environmental control board violations in the past related to work without permits and safety concerns, these have been resolved.
