315 East 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The 5-story, 20-unit tenement building at 315 East 73rd Street, owned by Reda Bouzid, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges over recent years, particularly between 2023 and 2025. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with mold and water leaks, with multiple complaints lodged and addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) during 2024. The building has also faced pest-related concerns, with HPD issuing violations in July 2024 for roach infestations in Apartment 2.

The property experienced a water leak incident in early 2024, which was classified as an emergency, and earlier water-related issues were documented in 2021 with similar classifications. While the building's bedbug history shows no recorded infestations from 2019 to 2024, and recent rodent inspections (most recently in May 2025) have passed, the building has had significant maintenance requirements, including a 2022 ECB violation related to boiler components and a 2022 issue regarding debris. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of health and safety concerns requiring attention, including multiple instances of mold, water leaks, and pest-related issues.

Several apartments have documented violations, such as Apartment 9 in early 2024, which had multiple violations including bathroom plaster repair needs and water leak issues. Importantly, during inspections, the building has generally passed health and safety inspections, including a recent rodent inspection in May 2025, and previous rodent inspections between 2016-2019 had mostly favorable results. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no affected units from 2021 through 2024. While the building's age (constructed in 1910) and history of maintenance issues are notable, the frequency of inspections and resolution of violations suggests ongoing attention to building maintenance by ownership and management.
