308 East 71st Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

308 East 71st Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Michael Mourkakos. The building has experienced recurring plumbing and heating issues over recent years, with the most recent complaint filed in May 2025 regarding water supply problems.

Between late 2021 and early 2023, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, particularly in December 2022 when several tenants reported problems, though no violations were ultimately issued. There was also a slow water leak reported in April 2023, which was investigated but no violations were found. The building has undergone several rodent inspections between 2016 and 2021, all of which passed, though there was a brief period in 2021 when rodent-related complaints were filed.

Apartment 4D, in particular, experienced multiple issues in 2020-2021, including mold, water damage, and pest problems, leading to several violations that were subsequently addressed. The building's most recent bedbug reports, covering the periods 2022-2025, consistently show zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management practices. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, it's worth noting that most complaints were addressed and closed without major violations being sustained, though several emergency heat and water complaints in 2022 indicate past discomforts experienced by residents.
