311 East 71st Street, Manhattan, NY 10021
311 East 71st Street is a 13-story, 96-unit residential building constructed in 1962, currently owned by Sofokles Tsouros. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints logged between late 2023 and 2024, including December 2024, January 2024, and November 2023, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These complaints were generally resolved following HPD inspections, though the frequency of occurrences suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge.
The most recent Housing Maintenance Code Violations as of November 2023 indicate concerns about safety systems in Apartment 2E, including non-functional carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, as well as defective plastered surfaces in the bathroom. The building's history includes both active and resolved violations related to façade maintenance (with an active ECB violation as of January 2024 regarding an unfiled amended report), and previous issues with bedbug infestation reporting compliance in 2022-2023. Rodent inspections from 2023 show recurring rat activity, though there have been periods of compliance.
The property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2019-2025, with one documented case in 2018-2019. The building's documentary record shows regular maintenance permit issuance for various types of work, including plumbing and electrical systems, between 2019-2021, suggesting ongoing building upkeep efforts. Recent inspections reveal active violations from 2022-2023 related to building safety systems and façade maintenance, though many historical violations have been resolved. The frequency of heat and hot water complaints through 2023-2024 and the presence of rodent activity in recent inspections are notable concerns, though the building's management appears to address most complaints and violations in a timely manner when reported through proper channels.
