424 East 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

424 East 73rd Street is a five-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Upper East Side, built in 1910 and currently owned by Sefik Gunes. The building has experienced consistent maintenance challenges over the past few years, with particular attention needed to address recurring rodent issues. Most recently, in April 2025, a rodent inspection passed with no violations, following several bait applications earlier in 2025.

Multiple health department inspections between 2023 and 2024 revealed rodent activity, with violations noted in August 2023 and April 2023. The property has also faced various interior maintenance issues, particularly in apartment 2FE, which is currently under notice for multiple violations as of April 2024. These citations include problems with bathroom tiles, plaster surfaces, ceiling conditions, wall surfaces, and various fixtures. During 2023-2024, the building experienced several other maintenance issues, including electrical problems (lighting, outlets), water leaks, mold concerns, and appliance-related complaints.

The building underwent construction work in late 2023, resulting in multiple sidewalk shed violations related to lighting and improper installation, with penalties imposed totaling $2,500. However, these were subsequently resolved. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past four years. While some historical rodent activity was documented in 2019, recent efforts appear to show improved control measures, as evidenced by passing inspections in 2025.
