347 East 60th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

347 East 60th Street is an old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Jacob Orfali and containing 16 units over 5 stories, constructed in 1910. The building has experienced persistent pest issues, most notably recent violations in September 2023 involving roach and mice infestations in apartment 243 on the 4th floor, which were certified as requiring correction. The building has a history of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2022, including electrical problems (power outages and wiring issues), door-related concerns, and plumbing issues with a bathtub/shower, many of which resulted in insufficient access for inspection.

Multiple violations have been documented over the past three years, including problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system, self-closing doors, and various maintenance issues in apartment 224. The property has undergone several rodent inspections, with the most recent in September 2023 resulting in a failure for "Other Reasons," marking a concerning departure from generally passing results from 2019-2022. A Department of Buildings inspection in February 2022 regarding illegal hotel rooms found no violations.

The building has maintained a consistent record of below-threshold bedbug activity, with all recent annual filings from 2018-2024 reporting zero infested units. While the building's management has addressed some maintenance issues, as evidenced by closed violations and service requests, the persistence of pest problems and recent rodent inspection failures indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control. The property has a mix of open and closed violations from various years, including those specifically related to window guards, door issues, and electrical concerns.
