415 East 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The 6-story, 96-unit residential building at 415 East 73rd Street, owned by Randy Glick and constructed in 1920, has experienced a number of concerning issues in recent years, with the most pressing being multiple reports of mold (four complaints in May 2025) that HPD was unable to inspect properly. The building has a documented history of moisture-related problems, as evidenced by an open Class B violation from December 2020 regarding mold in Apartment 2C's bathroom ceiling, which was previously cited under Housing Maintenance Code § 27-2017.3. Additional ongoing concerns include safety violations from the same inspection which have not been resolved, including missing required notices for carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures in common areas - all classified as Open Class A violations.

The building has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, including heating system issues with multiple emergency complaints in December 2019, a plumbing problem involving steam pipes/riser in December 2020, and a pest-related issue in February 2020. The property has undergone several permit issuances for maintenance work, with records showing activity in both 2018 and 2020 for plumbing and electrical work. While the building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2017, recent inspections show rodent activity as of July 2025, following a passed inspection in February 2023.

The Department of Buildings has documented several tenant safety inspections and egress-related complaints, though most were resolved with no violations found upon inspection. The building's management has received multiple administrative closures for various issues, including smoking violations in early 2023, though records indicate these were addressed. The property has shown some responsiveness to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the resolution of certain violations and the regular issuance of necessary permits for building maintenance work.
