216 East 77th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

The five-story, 20-unit building at 216 East 77th Street, owned by Myer Stanley, is a 1910 Old Law Tenement located in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood. The building's recent history shows consistent issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code.

More concerning are two significant incidents related to safety equipment: in 2022, a boiler-related violation was recorded showing multiple issues including a clogged fresh air screen and missing components, while in 2021, an elevator-related violation was noted regarding improper fire service connections and door security concerns. The elevator system has been a recurring focus, with a 2021 complaint about single-device service and another violation in 2019 regarding failure to file required inspections, though this was ultimately dismissed.

Despite these challenges, the building has maintained regular rodent inspections since at least 2010, with all resulting in passing grades, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 and 2021 were resolved without penalties, indicating the owner addressed these specific issues, though they do reflect a pattern of maintenance concerns. The property's documented history shows a mix of ongoing regulatory compliance issues and resolved safety concerns, with bedbug reporting compliance being the most persistent administrative violation over the past four years.
