326 East 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

326 East 73rd Street, an Old Law Tenement located on the Upper East Side, is a 5-story building constructed in 1910 with 20 units, currently owned by Maureen Bierfeldt. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three separate emergency complaints filed in late 2023 and early 2024, two of which involved HPD's inability to gain access for inspection.

These heating problems follow a similar pattern, with complaints in 2022 showing access issues as well. The building has also faced multiple cooking gas-related emergencies between 2019 and 2020, with at least one violation recorded in April 2020 concerning inadequate gas supply to the kitchen fixtures in apartment 1D. The building's maintenance record shows generally good pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past eight years (2019-2024) and multiple successful rodent inspections, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in October 2017.

A Department of Buildings complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms was filed in September 2023, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the final attempt in December 2023. The building has undergone several improvements, as evidenced by multiple permits issued in October 2020, and historical rodent inspection results indicate consistent compliance with health standards. The property's recurring heating system issues, while significant, represent the most pressing maintenance concern in recent years, though these have been addressed through multiple HPD interventions.
