423 East 70th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

423 East 70th Street is a 5-story, 28-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Kenrick Ou. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over the past five years. Most notably, as of June 2023, the building has active violations related to the failure to file 2020 external low pressure inspection reports.

In 2019, there were heating and hot water access issues, and the building experienced an elevator-related Oath violation. A series of complaints in May 2020 raised concerns about building stability, though the vacate order was fully rescinded by February 2021, and inspections during this period found no violations. The building's infrastructure has been subject to multiple inspections and permits, including emergency work permits issued in 2019 and 2020.

The property has maintained a good record regarding bedbugs, with all annual reporting periods from 2019 to the present showing zero infested units. However, there was one instance of rat activity recorded in January 2020, though subsequent pest control inspections in 2018-2020 showed passed results. The building's management has generally addressed violations and maintenance issues as they arise, with multiple work permits issued for various repairs and improvements. The most recent documentation suggests ongoing compliance issues related to low pressure inspection filings, but there are no major outstanding safety concerns noted in the more recent history of the building.
