419 East 60Th Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

The 41-story, 234-unit residential building at 419 East 60th Street, owned by Joshua Gotlib and completed in 2001, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably with its heating system. In the summer of 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water issues throughout the entire building, following a pattern of heating system problems that has persisted since at least 2021. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including electrical wiring issues, and problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests in 2024 and 2025.

While there was one pest-related incident requiring inspection between late 2023 and early 2024, more recent bedbug reports indicate zero infested units for the past three reporting periods from 2022-2023. The building has undergone several inspections and addressed various Department of Buildings (DOB) violations, particularly concerning elevator maintenance. In 2019, multiple violations were issued related to elevator defects from a 2017 inspection, though these were subsequently dismissed in 2022.

The property has demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections, passing its 2017 follow-up inspection, and has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, as evidenced by consistent reporting of zero infested units in recent years. A building permit was issued in early 2024 for plumbing work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property. While many service requests and complaints have been resolved without violations being issued, the recurring nature of heating system issues and other maintenance requests suggests persistent challenges with building systems and infrastructure.
