347 East 65th Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

The five-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement at 347 East 65th Street, owned by 347 E 65th St Llc, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in December 2024, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, though HPD could not access the property for inspection.

Other notable issues in 2024 included multiple complaints in May regarding unsanitary conditions including pests and mold, as well as a fire escape safety concern - all of which were closed without violations being issued. The building has a documented pattern of heating system problems, with multiple heat/hot water complaints recorded between 2020 and 2022, including emergencies affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. In terms of safety compliance, a significant cluster of violations was identified in December 2020 concerning apartment 2FE, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and issues with self-closing doors - though these were certified as corrected by January 2021.

The property has faced periodic pest challenges, with an open pest-related complaint from January 2023 and a new pest complaint filed in May 2024, though inspection results in 2024 showed no violations. Recent rodent inspections show rat activity as of July 2025, contrasting with consistently passing inspections from 2017-2020, and representing a notable health concern. Conversely, the building has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past eight years according to the most recent filings.
