345 East 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021
345 East 72nd Street is a 5-story, 19-unit New Law Tenement building in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Michael Sacchetti. The property has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding building systems and pest control. Most notably, there are active concerns regarding elevator safety and zoning compliance, with an active complaint from June 2025 about non-conforming zoning and an active ECB violation from 2022 related to improper installation of fire service equipment in the elevator system, for which a penalty of $625 has been imposed.
The building has also faced recurring pest control challenges, including a rat sighting in July 2024, following an initial inspection that identified rat activity in August 2024, though a compliance inspection in September 2024 resulted in a passing grade. Previous pest issues include pigeon-related concerns in 2021 (both waste and odor complaints) and ventilation system access issues in both 2022 and 2021. The building's maintenance history reveals periodic problems with basic systems, including a water supply issue in 2019 and wall conditions in 2018, though these complaints were closed without violations being found upon inspection.
Importantly, the building has maintained a relatively good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years (2022-2025), following two documented cases in 2020. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2016, with the majority of these inspections resulting in "Passed" ratings, though the most recent inspections in 2024 have shown some rodent activity that the building management is addressing. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, particularly with building systems and pest control, it has generally responded to inspections and service requests, with many complaints being resolved or closed due to lack of violations upon inspection.
