309 East 76th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The 20-unit building at 309 East 76th Street, owned by Imanuel Piroozian, has experienced persistent heating system issues, with multiple complaints documented throughout 2022-2025. Most recently, in March 2025, there were reports of inadequate heat/hot water that prompted a HPD investigation, though access to individual units was not granted. This followed a pattern of heating complaints in late 2023, where several tenants reported problems with the building-wide heating system.

The building has also faced challenges with pests, as evidenced by multiple rodent complaints in 2024-2025, though recent inspections in April 2024 and February 2025 showed the application of bait and passed inspection status. Notably, the building's most recent bedbug reports from 2024 showed no active infestations during the reporting period. The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations over the years.

In late 2023, multiple class C violations were issued regarding doors not closing properly throughout the building, affecting both individual apartments and common areas, though many of these violations have since been closed. Historical issues have included reactionary maintenance, with records showing past infestations of cockroaches in 2022 and bedbugs in 2020-2021, though these were addressed according to the violation resolutions. The building's compliance history shows regular inspections, with the most recent Department of Buildings inspections in 2025 confirming compliance with work permits requirements. While the building's maintenance record shows attention to resolving violations, the recurring nature of heating problems and occasional pest issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance responsiveness.
