324 East 66th Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

This 6-story, 35-unit New Law Tenement building at 324 East 66th Street, owned by Janet Giaimovitale, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over recent years, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2024 and 2025 regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) responded to these complaints but often faced challenges gaining access to units for inspection.

The building has also faced gas supply issues, with violations cited in 2019 for inadequate gas supply to kitchen ranges in multiple apartments (Units 9, 21, 27, and 33). Other significant maintenance concerns emerged in 2019, including safety issues such as defective window guards, non-self-closing doors, broken glass panes in public areas, and a need for proper gas leak emergency procedures in common areas, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building's history shows various infrastructure challenges, including plumbing issues in 2022 and rodent activity concerns in 2019, with multiple inspections revealing rat activity before passing inspections later that year.

Despite these challenges, the building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with reports showing zero infestation cases from 2019 to 2025. Permit records from late 2018 indicate electrical work was being carried out at the property, suggesting ongoing maintenance and infrastructure improvements. While the building has faced persistent heating and maintenance challenges, recent records (2024-2025) show no new bedbug or significant pest issues, and most past violations have been resolved, though recurring heat and hot water complaints indicate an ongoing system reliability concern.
