344 East 65th Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

344 East 65th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in New York City's Upper East Side neighborhood. Built in 1910 and currently owned by Aaron Weber, the property has faced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there were serious heating and hot water system failures recorded in November 2018, affecting the entire building, though these problems were reportedly resolved promptly according to tenant reports.

In 2022, there was an unsanitary condition complaint related to pests, which HPD could not inspect due to access issues; this complaint was subsequently closed without resolution confirmation. The building has been subject to various health and safety violations, particularly concerning fire safety and general maintenance requirements. In 2021, there was an open violation regarding smoke detector requirements that remains unresolved, and several other violations from 2018 concerning the posting of essential safety notices (including gas leak procedures and heating system access) were documented.

The property has maintained a solid record regarding pest control in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations according to the 2024 bedbug reporting, and rodent inspections conducted between 2016 and 2019 generally showed consistent passing results, though there were some failures noted in early 2017. A complaint regarding potential illegal hotel rooms in the building was received in late 2018, but no violations were found upon inspection. While the building shows evidence of ongoing management attention to compliance issues, particularly with bedbug reporting and recent violation closures, the history of heating system problems and persistent safety notice violations suggests areas requiring continued monitoring.
