342 East 62nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

The six-story, 24-unit Old Law Tenement building at 342 East 62nd Street, owned by Oheb 62 Associates LLC, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there have been multiple pest-related complaints between 2019 and 2021, including several 311 service requests that required HPD inspections, with one serious violation issued in October 2021 for a mouse infestation in apartment 21.

The building has also faced substantial heat and hot water problems, particularly during the fall of 2018 when multiple complaints were filed regarding inadequate service, though it appears the issues were resolved promptly as inspections noted restoration of services. Water-related issues were documented in 2019, with complaints about damp spots and slow leaks resulting in violations. Apartment 21, specifically, has been the focus of several violation notices, including multiple door-related issues and concerns about plastered surfaces and ceiling conditions in 2021.

The building's management has faced scrutiny for not filing required bedbug reports in 2021 and 2022, though subsequent inspections show no evidence of infestations. While there were violations issued regarding boiler inspection report filings in 2019 (which were later dismissed), and a Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspection attempt in 2021 was not granted access, most recent bedbug filings (2023-2024) indicate no current pest issues, with consistent documentation showing zero infested or re-infested units. Regular rodent inspections from 2016 to 2019 show passed results, though there were instances of rat activity requiring bait application in 2019, suggesting ongoing monitoring of vermin control protocols.
