307 East 76th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

307 East 76th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1910 and currently owned by John Paci Jr. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple tenant complaints between 2020 and 2022 indicating problems with both building-wide and individual apartment systems. While many of these complaints were resolved through HPD inspections confirming restoration of services, the pattern suggests persistent infrastructure challenges.

In February 2023, a notable fire escape safety concern was reported, though this was also resolved without violations being issued. More recently, in mid-2023, there was a complaint regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, which was investigated but resulted in no violations. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs, with all recent annual reports (2020-2025) indicating zero cases of infestation or re-infestation. Records show multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2019 and 2020 related to building safety compliance, including the need to post various safety and tenant information notices in common areas, though many of these appear to have been subsequently addressed.

A significant 2023 boiler safety violation was recorded, noting issues with the safety valve position and piping requirements, though this was resolved with no penalty imposed. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019, showing effective pest management for this category. The building's history shows a mixture of resolved safety, maintenance, and infrastructure issues, with the most pressing concerns being the recurring heat and hot water problems and a few notable safety-related violations. The regularity of heat-related complaints across multiple years suggests this remains an area requiring continued attention, though recent complaints indicate the management has been responsive to individual incidents when reported.
