427 East 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The five-story, 20-unit residential building at 427 East 73rd Street in Manhattan was constructed in 1910 and is classified as an Old Law Tenement building, currently owned by Ed Adler. The property has a recent history of multiple smoking violations, with three documented complaints in 2023 that were all administratively closed, suggesting the issues were addressed.

The building experienced some concerning safety-related complaints, including a report of blocked egress in August 2023 (which was determined to have no warranted violation upon inspection), and a complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms in July 2023 and a gas utility referral complaint in November 2021, though in both cases inspectors were unable to gain access to the premises. The building's maintenance record shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2025, with no reported infestations in any of the annual filings. However, there is a recent pattern of rodent activity noted in inspections, with rat activity recorded in both November and December 2024.

Prior to this, rat activity was documented in August 2023, though inspections in September 2023 and various earlier dates from 2018 through 2022 had passed without issues. The building underwent some permitted work in May 2019, with permits issued for plumbing and electrical work (job number 123662036). While the property has had its share of complaints and violations, the consistent bedbug reporting compliance and recent permits suggest ongoing maintenance and attention to building systems, though the rodent activity pattern may warrant attention to building maintenance practices.
