320 East 79th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075
320 East 79th Street is a 5-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by the Government of Albania. The property has experienced persistent rodent issues in recent years, with multiple complaints filed through the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) between 2024-2025, including recent rat sightings in February 2025 and conditions attracting rodents in December 2024 and November 2024.
Rodent inspections throughout 2024-2025 indicate ongoing rat activity, though bait was applied in January 2025 and June 2025. The building has an open Housing Maintenance Code complaint from January 2025 regarding gutter/leader issues outside the building.
Notably, there is a recurring violation related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with open violations dating back to 2021-2024, suggesting ongoing non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements. While the building passed several inspections between 2017-2019, the increasing frequency and nature of recent complaints indicate potential challenges with both pest management and maintenance response times.
