230 East 79th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

230 East 79th Street is a 22-story, 107-unit residential building constructed in 1964, currently owned by Ron Rich. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2024 and into 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed for lack of service affecting the entire building. During this same period, there were also complaints about wall conditions and garbages/recycling storage, though some inspections couldn't be completed due to access issues.

The building has a significant number of elevator-related complaints, particularly in mid-2024, with most inspections finding no violations, though a few complaints were marked as "Please See Complaint Number," indicating potential ongoing issues. The property has several active violations concerning building maintenance, particularly regarding the facade and window conditions. Notable issues include cracked glass windows on multiple floors and spalling masonry documented in both 2021 and 2024, with associated penalties totaling $4,650.

The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny for failure to maintain safety systems, as evidenced by Environmental Control Board violations in 2024 related to public safety requirements. Apartment 5D has had documented maintenance issues requiring attention to various systems, including plumbing, ventilation, and safety equipment, with some violations still listed as open as of mid-2023. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (with consistent reporting showing zero units affected), the building's rodent inspections between 2016 and 2019 generally showed compliance, though there was one failed inspection in March 2019. The property has also demonstrated some compliance issues with documentation requirements, including failure to file certain reports and certifications, though some violations have been dismissed upon re-inspection.
