305 East 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021
The 6-story, 30-unit building at 305 East 75th Street, owned by Howard Hershkovich and constructed in 1910 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been three plumbing-related incidents regarding water supply between December 2023 and April 2025, with the most recent complaint filed in April 2025. The building faced multiple heat and hot water problems in April 2023, affecting both individual apartments and common areas, though these issues were reportedly resolved promptly.
Additional maintenance concerns documented in 2023 included electrical wiring problems, floor maintenance issues, and an unsanitary condition related to garbage recycling storage. The building has also faced significant safety-related violations, particularly concerning the fire escape system. Multiple violations were recorded in 2023 regarding defective fire escape treads, specifically noting broken or missing metal treads on the front fire escape.
Other safety-related violations included issues with the self-closing doors in the basement section and problems with fire-retardant materials in the 6th-story bulkhead area. An inspection in March 2023 noted a failure to file the annual bedbug report, though subsequent reports from 2022-2024 show no evidence of infestation. The building's electrical system underwent scrutiny in 2022, with two ECB violations noting unapproved electrical work and unsafe wiring conditions, though these violations were later resolved. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022 and passed most rodent inspections, inspections from 2017-2020 showed occasional failures for "Other Reasons."
