222 East 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The six-story, 41-unit building at 222 East 75th Street, owned by Patricia Pettwaybrown and constructed in 1930, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years (2023-2025). Most notably, there have been multiple complaints and violations related to windows, doors, flooring, plumbing (specifically radiators), and mold issues, with emergency housing maintenance code complaints filed throughout 2024.

The building has three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from December 2023, including maintenance issues in the 6th-floor public hall, and concerning unauthorized modifications in apartment 6E. The property has also faced electrical system concerns, with a notable violation issued in January 2024 regarding panel installations in the basement and elevator motor room. Recent inspections and service requests show ongoing maintenance challenges, though many complaints have been closed without the issuance of violations.

The building's management has demonstrated responsive communication with housing authorities, as evidenced by the regular closure of complaints following investigations. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, with no reported infestations in recent years, and rodent inspections from 2017 to 2019 generally showed passing results, though there was one failure in September 2019. Elevator and fire safety systems are subject to scrutiny, with violations related to self-closing doors and fire service requirements identified in recent years, though past issues have often been resolved following inspections and repairs.
