327 East 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

327 East 75th Street is a 4-story, 16-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Avi Singer and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being multiple heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, including incidents in March 2022 and October 2018, where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify conditions.

In September 2022, a series of violations were issued, primarily affecting apartment 6, including water leaks, damaged plaster, and inadequate gas supply to the kitchen. The building has also faced various safety concerns, including multiple open violations related to door functionality and fire safety, such as defective self-closing doors in the basement and fire escape obstructions.

Recent history shows active management challenges, including an ongoing investigation as of April 2025 regarding potential illegal hotel rooms within the building, and a 2022 violation for unauthorized renovation work in apartment 3 that resulted in a $2,500 penalty. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported since 2020, rodent inspections have shown fluctuating results, with recent inspections in 2023 showing both passed and failed results for rat activity. Despite these challenges, the building has demonstrated some recent improvements, including compliance with rodent inspection requirements as of December 2023 and a recorded renovation permit from 2020, though the activation status of this work remains unclear based on the available data.
