345 East 68th Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

The 6-story, 39-unit tenement building at 345 East 68th Street in the Upper East Side, owned by Jay Johnson, has maintained a relatively stable environment since its 1910 construction, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024) and a solid record of passing rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019, with only one instance of rat activity noted in 2018.

The building has experienced recurring administrative compliance issues, particularly regarding energy efficiency reporting, with multiple violations recorded for failing to display energy scores/grades and submit Benchmarking Reports between 2020 and 2023; however, most of these violations were ultimately dismissed or resolved. More recently, in 2023, violations were issued for failing to file external low-pressure inspection reports for 2018-2021, though these were also dismissed by November 2023.

The building's maintenance record shows consistent responsiveness to regulatory requirements, with the most recent bedbug report for 2024 showing no infested or eradicated units. The property has demonstrated attention to environmental compliance, as evidenced by the issuance of an EW permit in 2019, though the building class designation as a "New Law Tenement" suggests it is subject to specific regulatory requirements related to its age and type.
