325 East 64th Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

The six-story, 85-unit residential building at 325 East 64th Street, owned by Steven Rosenthal, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, in late 2023, there were concerns about chemical vapors and indoor air quality that required referral to the Department of Environmental Protection. Other recent complaints include a mold issue (February 2023) and various door/window-related problems, with the most serious occurring in 2021 when HPD issued violations regarding door maintenance.

The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with emergency heat/hot water complaints registered for the entire building in 2020, and had multiple elevator maintenance complaints in 2020 that received no violations. Security-related concerns have been prominent, particularly regarding the building's entrance systems. In July 2023, violations were issued regarding unauthorized electromagnetic locking devices at both the building entrance and vestibule doors, with requirements for proper mechanical locks during power outages. The building has maintained relatively stable pest management, showing zero reported bedbug infestations in 2023-2024, though one case was reported in the previous period (2022-2023).

Rodent inspections have generally passed, with only one failure noted in November 2022. The property has faced challenges with energy benchmarking compliance, receiving violations in 2022 that were later dismissed. Recent documentation shows proper handling of various maintenance issues, with many complaints resulting in no violations or being promptly addressed, though some security-related citations from 2021 remain open. The building's documentation shows regular permit issuance for maintenance work, with multiple permits issued in 2019 and 2021 for alterations and other work.
