310 East 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The six-story, 60-unit building at 310 East 74th Street, owned by Mark Scharfman, has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent concerns centering around unsanitary conditions and water leaks. Seven separate complaints regarding water leaks were filed between 2023-2024, including instances of heavy flow and damp spots, though no Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) violations were issued upon inspection. The building has also faced recurring issues with garbage/recycling storage, and in July 2023, a pest-related complaint was filed, though inspectors were unable to access the property to verify the conditions.

A rodent inspection in June 2023 passed, following a pattern of compliance with pest control measures noted in previous years. The property has several open and historical violations that warrant attention, including an active open violation as of 2024 concerning self-closing door issues in Apartment 6F, and past violations in Apartment 1K from 2023 involving multiple deficiencies related to heat, hot water, and safety systems (including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors). While the building underwent inspections in 2023 showing various deficiencies, most were resolved by the time of follow-up inspections.

Recent complaints registered in 2025 regarding vent/exhaust issues and previously documented boiler concerns were determined to have no violations warranting further action. Notably, the building's bedbug reports for the past five years have consistently shown zero infested units, suggesting effective pest control measures are in place. The building, constructed in 1938, maintains a regular pattern of inspections and, despite periodic maintenance issues, has generally demonstrated compliance with regulatory requirements when violations are identified.
