357 East 68th Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

The five-story, 20-unit tenement building at 357 East 68th Street in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Martin Hollander and constructed in 1910, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, between November 2020 and April 2021, the building faced significant water-related problems in apartment 5D, including a slow roof leak affecting the ceiling, which resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations for both the leak and associated plaster/paint damage.

In September 2022, the building received complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests, though these could not be verified during HPD's inspection. The property has maintained a consistent record of pest control diligence, with recent bedbug reports (2021-2024) showing zero infestation or eradication cases.

Regular rodent inspections between 2011 and 2019 have generally resulted in passing grades, with the exception of two failures - June 2012 and March 2017 - where non-specific issues were noted. The building's upkeep history suggests prompt attention to violations when identified, as evidenced by the certification of correction in May 2021 for the water and ceiling issues in apartment 5D, though the original inspection was conducted several months earlier. While there have been several maintenance issues documented, the lack of recurring pest problems and the successful resolution of documented violations indicate that the building management has been responsive to identified concerns.
