339 East 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building at 339 East 75th Street, owned by Perry Roth and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past five years. Most recently, in April 2025, the building had plumbing water supply issues that required immediate attention. Between 2023 and 2024, there were multiple reports of rodent and insect problems in the building's food establishment, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene responding to several complaints.

The building has also faced plumbing challenges, with immediate emergency responses required for water supply problems in both 2019 and 2025. The property has accumulated a number of housing maintenance code violations, particularly affecting apartment 5W, including issues with plaster surfaces, electrical outlets, radiators, faucets, flooring, and doors, some of which remained open as of 2019. There were also two significant violations in 2018 regarding improper gas piping installation in stair enclosures and work without proper permits, resulting in $2,850 in penalties. The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with no infestations reported in the past three years.

While rodent inspections have generally passed since 2019, with one failure noted in 2018, recent improvements include passing inspections in 2022. The building has undergone various permitted work in recent years, including multiple plumbing and electrical projects with permits issued in 2019 and 2020. Two violations related to external low-pressure system inspection filings were issued in 2023 but were subsequently dismissed in 2024. The property has a consistent record of addressing health and safety concerns when reported, despite the recurrence of certain maintenance issues, particularly in apartment 5W, which has experienced multiple violations affecting its various systems and surfaces.
