342 East 76th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The 16-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement at 342 East 76th Street, owned by Todd Cohen and constructed in 1910, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concern around heating systems. The building has documented multiple heat and hot water complaints between 2022 and 2025, including three separate incidents in January 2025 alone, though some were resolved following inspections.

A significant heating system violation was recorded in January 2022 regarding access to the boiler room, and there are two active violations from 2021-2022 related to a malfunctioning boiler system with specific safety concerns that remain unresolved as of 2023, including a clogged fresh air vent and electrical issues. More recently, in 2025, there have been concerns about rodent activity, with a rat sighting reported in April 2025 and a 'Rat Activity' inspection result in May 2025, though the building passed a compliance inspection in July 2025.

The property has maintained a clean record for bedbugs over the past three years, with no reported infestations. Structural and maintenance issues have been documented through various inspections and service requests, including problems with self-closing doors, plumbing issues, and heat supply problems, particularly affecting apartment 2D. The building's management has generally addressed violations when identified, as evidenced by multiple "closed" statuses on various complaints, though some concerns, particularly regarding the heating system and rodent control, appear to be recurring challenges.
