417 East 60th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

The 24-unit building at 417 East 60th Street, owned by Isaac Jacobs, is a 6-story Old Law Tenement constructed in 1910. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues, most notably a series of heat and hot water problems in early 2021 that affected the entire building and prompted multiple emergency complaints between February and April 2021. During this period, the building received multiple violations related to heat and hot water systems, including issues with access to the heating system in the basement and problems with hot water delivery in Apartment 3B. The building's systems and infrastructure were further called into question in March 2021, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding window frames, flooring, and the intercom system.

More recent history shows the building has generally maintained better compliance, though it faced some challenges in 2023-2024. The property had two "A" class violations issued in 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and in 2021, a C violation was noted for inadequate heating system access. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 through 2024 indicates consistent monitoring, with no infested units reported in any of the five annual filings. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in 2022 passing, though there were failures recorded in 2019 and 2020.

The building's Department of Buildings records from 2021 show multiple complaints regarding various issues, including egress concerns and illegal uses, though most of these complaints were ultimately closed without violations being sustained or were referred to other agencies for follow-up. A significant "C" class violation was issued in 2021 regarding inadequate means of egress from the roof level, resulting in a $2,500 penalty, though this appears to have been resolved. Most recently, a violation regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection was issued in 2023, though this was later dismissed in 2024. The building's historical records suggest periodic maintenance challenges, particularly during the winter months, though recent years show improved compliance with housing maintenance codes. The property's age and building class suggest typical urban maintenance challenges, though the recent bedbug-free status across five reporting periods is notable.
