306 East 71st Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

306 East 71st Street is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Michael Mangan. The building has recently experienced notable maintenance issues, with the most recent complaints in August 2024 involving a water leak (damp spot) and mold, both of which were ultimately resolved by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

A prior complaint from December 2023 regarding pest issues was also addressed without any violations being issued. Despite these recent issues, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with official reports from 2020 through 2024 showing zero infestation counts.

Additionally, the property has demonstrated consistent pest control measures, with multiple rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2019, all passing successfully, indicating generally effective building maintenance in this regard. The building's recent history has shown some pattern of moisture-related issues, as evidenced by the water leak and mold complaints in 2024, but HPD intervention suggests these problems were addressed promptly. The lack of bedbug infestation reports and consistent passing of rodent inspections over many years indicates that while there may be periodic maintenance challenges (as evidenced by the recent water and mold issues), the building has generally maintained good overall housing conditions when considering the broader context of pest management and rodent control.
