311 East 76th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The five-story, 18-unit old law tenement building at 311 East 76th Street, currently owned by John Muccini, has been subject to several health and safety inspections and complaints over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues related to the building's food establishment, with multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) investigations between 2023 and 2025, including recent rodent and unsanitary conditions complaints. A significant safety concern was addressed in 2024 when electrical wires were found obstructing a fire escape ladder at the building front, though this violation has since been closed. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2021 to 2025, with all reports showing zero infested units, and regular rodent inspections from 2012 through 2024 have consistently passed.

While there have been multiple health-related complaints, including a food poisoning incident in January 2023, most inspections resulted in no violations being found. The property has also had some issues with garbage/recycling storage, as evidenced by a 2024 HPD complaint, though no violations were issued following inspection. Two complaints regarding water drainage issues were filed in 2023, but inspections found no violations. The building's maintenance record shows attention to compliance with various health and safety regulations, with prompt responses to reported issues.

The Department of Buildings has issued multiple work permits between 2018 and 2019, specifically for electrical work, indicating ongoing maintenance and infrastructure upkeep. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted consistently over the years, contributing to a generally positive track record in this area. While the building has experienced recurring food establishment issues, most recent health inspections have not resulted in violations, suggesting improvements in management response to health department concerns. The property's bedbug reporting history indicates successful management of this common tenant concern, with no reported infestations in any of the annual reporting periods.
