230 East 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

230 East 75th Street is a four-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Koji Sato. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues over recent years, with the most pressing concern being a confirmed rodent problem in 2023 that resulted in multiple inspections and bait application in May 2023, following an initial rat sighting complaint in April 2023 that prompted health department violations and required follow-up inspections.

The building underwent substantial maintenance challenges in 2021, with multiple complaints filed on May 18 covering various issues including plumbing problems (affecting bathtubs/showers and sinks), unsanitary conditions (pests and mold), and concerns about flooring/stairs and water leaks. While many of these complaints were ultimately closed without violations, some required follow-up inspections and were not able to be accessed for initial inspection.

The building's violation and inspection history shows a transient period of pest-related problems, as evidenced by repeated HPD complaints regarding pests and the timing of bedbug violations in 2021-2022, though the most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2025 indicate no infested units or eradication efforts required, suggesting the issue may have been resolved. The property's record shows a pattern of rodent inspections, with the most recent ones in 2023 indicating active rodent presence that required baiting, though earlier inspections from 2016-2019 had passed with no significant issues noted. The building has faced recurring challenges with its infrastructure and maintenance systems, resulting in multiple violation notices requesting annual bedbug reports between 2021-2023, though these violations have since been closed.
