311 East 72nd Street is a 17-story, 128-unit New Law Tenement building built in 1929 and currently owned by Charles Alpert. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly in 2024 with complaints in December (apartment only), September (inspections with violations), and earlier incidents throughout 2023 including both apartment-specific and building-wide cases.
Water-related problems have also been persistent, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2024 and 2023 regarding damp spots and leaks, with current open violations as of September 2024 in apartment 17D related to both plaster surfaces and leaks. The building underwent significant inspections and faced multiple violations in 2022, including issues related to unauthorized gas line installations in the laundry room and concerns about sprinkler systems.
A notable incident in December 2021 involved fire damage affecting apartments 10C and 12C, requiring repairs to plastered surfaces and painting. Compliance concerns are reflected in multiple open DOB violations as of 2023 regarding failure to file inspection reports, and the bedbug reporting history shows consistent monitoring with no infestations reported since 2019. The building's elevator system and various maintenance issues have also been documented through multiple complaints and violations over the years, indicating ongoing infrastructural challenges that impact resident comfort and safety.
