484 East 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

484 East 74th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by William Occoner. The Upper East Side property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concerns regarding plumbing and heating systems. Most recently, in May 2025, there was a water supply issue that HPD attempted to inspect but could not complete.

The building experienced multiple heat and hot water emergencies in late 2021, though these were reportedly resolved promptly. There have been two documented water supply-related incidents in the past three years (2022 and 2025), and a heavy water leak complaint in 2019. The building has also faced challenges with rodent control, particularly evident in 2022-2023, with multiple inspections showing varying levels of rat activity.

Two rodent sightings were reported in 2022 and 2023, though a July 2023 DOHMH inspection passed with no violations. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting history, with no infested units reported in the past five years, and all bedbug reports since 2021 show zero infested or re-infested units. Notably, there are two open violations from 2018 regarding obstructions to fire escape egress caused by air conditioner installations on the second and third-story balconies, which remain unresolved. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, as indicated by the closure of many service requests, though some recent inspections have been inconclusive or required follow-up, such as the May 2025 plumbing inspection and the November 2022 rodent inspection that failed for other reasons before subsequent bait applications.
