333 East 69th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The 12-story, 116-unit residential building at 333 East 69th Street, constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Evan Calero, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most critically, in May 2024, there were documented violations regarding inadequate heat and hot water affecting multiple apartments, including unit 4K, while earlier in 2024 there was also a complaint about building shaking that required inspection. The building has faced recurring problems with its hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple service requests and violations.

There are several open violations from 2018 related to building safety requirements, including missing carbon monoxide detector notices, gas leak procedures, and maintenance of emergency information in common areas. The building's infrastructure and safety systems have been a recurring concern, with multiple violations related to elevator safety recorded in 2020, including issues with brake monitoring systems that resulted in fines. A facade safety violation was issued in 2021, and while it was resolved, it indicates past structural concerns.

The building has had consistent rodent inspection passes from 2010 through 2024, suggesting generally good pest control practices, and there have been no documented bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent reports from 2022-2024 indicating zero infested units. While there have been multiple violations relating to the failure to file required inspections and reports (such as low pressure inspections), these were eventually dismissed, suggesting administrative rather than substantive safety issues. The property has maintained proper certification regarding lead paint, with most recent inspection showing no violations.
