345 East 76th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

345 East 76th Street is a 4-story, 36-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Jason Glick. The property has experienced recurring issues with basic services and maintenance, particularly in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints throughout 2023, including an October incident involving the entire building that was classified as an emergency.

The building also faced persistent sanitation challenges, with multiple complaints about garbage/recycling storage conditions and pest issues in 2022-2023, along with recent rodent sightings in 2024. Building safety has been a concern, with violations related to fire escape access and door closing mechanisms in 2023-2024, though these violations were subsequently closed after correction. The building underwent significant inspection and violation activity in early 2023, revealing various maintenance issues in Apartment 1C including plumbing, plaster, and safety concerns, all of which were later addressed. The property's history shows an ongoing struggle with pest control, evidenced by multiple rodent inspections between 2019 and 2024, though recent inspections in 2024 passed compliance checks.

Interestingly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with multiple reporting periods from 2021-2025 showing no affected units. The Department of Buildings shows proper handling of various repair and maintenance permit requests from 2018. While there was a notable violation in 2018 regarding unlawful work continuation during a stop work order related to a sprinkler system issue, this was resolved with no penalty. Recent rodent treatment efforts and improvements to building systems have been documented, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts by management, though the frequency and nature of past complaints indicate persistent challenges with building systems and maintenance.
