308 East 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

308 East 72nd Street is a 21-story, 75-unit residential building constructed in 1996, currently owned by Michael Laub. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a cabinet violation in Apartment 4D recorded in July 2024, for which violations were issued. During the summer of 2024, multiple non-emergency complaints were filed and subsequently closed regarding issues with ceilings, walls, flooring, and cabinets, though most of these did not result in violations.

The building has a history of plumbing concerns, with violations issued in December 2022 regarding unpermitted work and failure to test new plumbing systems in Apartment 6C, though these violations were later resolved. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2019-2025), and all rodent inspections have passed since 2011. There were two food poisoning incidents reported in 2020 and 2023, both determined to be isolated incidents.

The elevator system has had ongoing issues, with active violations noted for failure to correct defects on the 2017 Cat 1 inspection/test. The property has also undergone various permitted work, with multiple permits issued between 2018-2019 for electrical and plumbing-related work. While there have been several violations and complaints over the years, most have been promptly addressed, with the exception of the current cabinet violation in Apartment 4D. The building maintains a relatively good record regarding bedbugs and rodent control, with consistent compliance in recent years.
