335 East 77th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

Located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, 335 East 77th Street is a four-unit, four-story old-law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Anny Ralbag. The most significant and persistent issue the building has faced in recent years revolves around heating and hot water systems, with eight documented heating/hot water complaints between March and July of 2022 alone, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While all these complaints were eventually closed, they demonstrate a troubling pattern of temperature control issues during that period.

More recently, in March 2024, there was a complaint regarding a defective/inoperative boiler, though this was found not to warrant any violations upon inspection. The building's maintenance record shows some concerning patterns from 2021-2022, including violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports in both 2021 and 2022, although subsequent filings from 2022 through 2024 show no evidence of bedbug infestations. The building has maintained a clean record concerning rodent issues, passing all rodent inspections between 2010 and 2023.

A gas utility referral complaint from February 2022 was noted, but the inspector was unable to gain access. On a positive note, the most recent bedbug reports from 2024 indicate no infestation problems, with zero infested units reported in the 2023-2024 filing period. The building has had proper permit filings, including an issued permit in February 2019, indicating some level of regulatory compliance in terms of necessary approvals for building modifications or maintenance work.
