424 East 66th Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

The 5-story, 21-unit old law tenement at 424 East 66th Street in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1910 and owned by 424 East 66th St Corp, has experienced a concerning cluster of maintenance issues in recent months. In May 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding various building conditions, including issues with walls (paint/plaster), flooring, appliances (both refrigerator and electric/gas range), plumbing (bathtub/shower), and pest-related problems.

These complaints were notable for the fact that HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct inspections during their initial attempts, which resulted in the complaints being closed without resolution. More recent emergencies emerged in June 2025, with reports of water supply issues and heating/hot water problems affecting the entire building. The building has documented violations from September 2024, including problems with the roof (leaks), fire retardant materials in the public hall, and a notable infestation of roaches in both a public hall area and a specific apartment (3FE) that were addressed in October 2024.

The property also has several open violations from April 2024 concerning the public hall's ceiling and west wall. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reported cases since at least 2019, it has experienced periodic rodent-related issues. Historical data from 2017-2019 shows a mix of both passed inspections and instances requiring bait application, though more recent rodent inspections from 2018 and 2019 passed, suggesting improved conditions.
