322 East 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

322 East 73rd Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1910 and currently owned by Mara Cohen. The most recent significant issue occurred in December 2024, when residents reported heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building; however, inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access for verification. The building has faced several maintenance challenges, particularly during 2020 when multiple violations were documented, including issues with windows (violations issued), electrical safety (emergency violation), pest infestation (including roaches, with violations issued), mold presence (with violations issued), and various flooring and plumbing concerns.

One apartment (unit 7) had particularly notable violations in 2020, including issues with kitchen walls, doors, and missing safety devices like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, all of which were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to rodent control, with multiple inspections between 2010 and 2019 passing without issues. Bedbug inspections from 2020 to 2024 have consistently reported zero infestations or eradications.

The most recent violations from December 2024 involved non-functioning self-closing doors in the building's vestibule and entrance, though these were identified as C-class violations and certified for correction in January 2025. Prior to this, the building had an illegal hotel room complaint in 2019 that was investigated but found to have no warrant for violations. The property has maintained an active compliance history with regular inspections and prompt responses to violations, though the recent heat/hot water issue remains unresolved as of the most current information available.
