317 East 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021
The 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building at 317 East 73rd Street, owned by Howard Zuckerman and built in 1910, has experienced a series of ongoing maintenance and safety issues, particularly in recent years. Most notably, there are current violations in apartment 4RE from January 2024 related to missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, broken glass panes, damaged brickwork, and defective self-closing doors. The building has also faced persistent rodent problems, with recent inspections in 2025 confirming rat activity, and multiple pest-related complaints filed through 311 in 2024-2025.
Between 2024-2025, significant health and safety concerns have emerged, including a mold complaint (September 2024), multiple unsanitary conditions, and several failed inspections regarding access to units. The property has seen recurring issues with windows, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations regarding broken window panes, frames, and problems with egress windows. Additional concerns include various maintenance violations such as ceiling plaster issues, appliance problems, and heating/hot water concerns, many of which were documented through the Housing Maintenance Code system.
The building underwent several inspections regarding rat activity between 2019-2025, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing continuing rodent issues. The Department of Buildings has documented several violations related to life safety systems, including concerns about fire stopping, exit passageways, and emergency systems. While the building has demonstrated some compliance with certain inspections (such as the bedbug reports showing no infestations from 2019-2025), the persistent nature of the maintenance and building code violations raises significant concerns about the overall conditions and management of this property.
