320 East 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

320 East 73rd Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1910 on the Upper East Side, currently owned by Elvin Rolon. The building has experienced ongoing concerns with cooking gas issues, most notably in mid-2022, when two emergency complaints were filed and subsequently closed in July 2023, with one complaint being a duplicate of a building-wide condition.

These gas-related incidents were addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though inspections did not result in any violations. Prior to these gas issues, there were concerns about unsanitary conditions and pests in early 2022, as well as a rat sighting in January 2022, though inspections at that time found no violations.

Notably, the building has maintained a strong record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2018 through 2024 showing zero infested units, including no reports of re-infestations. The building has passed multiple rodent inspections, including the most recent one in September 2024, with only one instance of rat activity recorded in August 2013. Overall, while there have been periodic maintenance issues that required attention, particularly regarding cooking gas, the building's recent record shows improved conditions, with no reported bedbug or rodent problems over the past several years, aside from the 2022 gas complaints that have since been addressed.
