315 East 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The 21-story, 219-unit building at 315 East 72nd Street, owned by Marc Kotler and constructed in 1958, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. The most recent significant problem occurred in December 2022 when the entire building experienced heating and hot water failures, though these were reportedly resolved within two days. Previous heating issues were documented in November 2018, and the building faced multiple unsanitary condition complaints in December 2018, including problems with pests, sewage, and garbage/recycling storage, though no violations were ultimately issued.

In 2020, there was a complaint regarding building shaking/vibration, and the Department of Buildings recorded an exterior facade maintenance violation in July 2020 concerning loose bricks and missing mortar near the 15th floor, for which a $625 penalty was imposed. The building's maintenance record shows three instances of bedbug infestations between 2022 and 2024, though these cases appear to have been properly addressed through eradication procedures. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2010 through 2019, indicating effective pest control in this area.

While there have been multiple tenant safety inspections conducted between 2020 and 2023, none resulted in any violations being found at the time of inspection. An electrical wiring complaint in November 2022 was notable for the inspector's inability to gain access after two attempts. Currently, there remains an active violation from December 2021 regarding failure to display the building's energy efficiency score and grade, which has not yet been resolved. The building has undergone regular maintenance work as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2020 and 2021, including electrical and plumbing work.
