428 East 66th Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

The 19-unit, 5-story old law tenement building at 428 East 66th Street in the Upper East Side, owned by 428 E. 66 St. LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years.

Most notably, there were recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, including three emergency complaints in November 2018 related to no heat or hot water in the entire building, and more recent heat/hot water issues in December 2021 and April 2023, though inspections confirmed these problems were resolved. The building also faced plumbing concerns, with a water supply issue reported and closed in April 2023. A significant administrative matter occurred in 2019 when a violation was issued for failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report, resulting in a $1,000 penalty that was subsequently dismissed.

The Department of Buildings recorded a complaint in May 2022 regarding work without a permit, though this was referred to the Department of Transportation. On a more positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years (2018-2024), and it passed multiple rodent inspections between 2016 and 2019. The property has shown some attention to maintenance, as evidenced by two permits issued in August 2019 for plumbing and electrical work. While the building has experienced periodic heating and water supply issues, particularly in 2018 and 2021, recent years have shown improved resolution of complaints, with the most recent complaints being promptly closed without violations, though they were categorized as emergencies.
