425 East 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The 49-unit, 6-story residential building at 425 East 72nd Street, constructed in 1938 and currently owned by Diane Miller, has experienced several notable incidents and ongoing maintenance requirements over recent years. Most significantly, in 2024, the building underwent Department of Buildings inspections that revealed problems with the vestibule door security system, leading to violations for both an illegal electromagnetic locking device and the lack of an acceptable mechanical lock during power outages, though these violations were subsequently certified as corrected in May 2024.

Other recent concerns include a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigation in March 2024 regarding indoor air quality, though no violations were cited, and a door-related HPD complaint from October 2023 that was closed without any violations. The building's maintenance history shows a relatively stable environment, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2021-2024), following two instances of infestations in 2019-2020 and 2018-2019, which were successfully eradicated.

Multiple rodent inspections between 2010 and 2023 have consistently resulted in passing grades, demonstrating effective pest management practices. Historical records also show two DOB violations from 2018 and 2019, though these were resolved within two months of issuance.
