425 East 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021
The 6-story, 30-unit building at 425 East 74th Street, built in 1910 and owned by Geoff Rngler, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2021-2022. The most significant problems have involved heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints recorded between 2021 and 2022 regarding lack of heat/hot water in either individual apartments or the entire building, though HPD investigations generally found that services had been restored by the time of inspection. The building has also faced persistent plumbing challenges, particularly affecting water supply, with three separate incidents between 2021-2022.
A notable safety concern emerged in September 2022 when a partial vacate order was issued due to loose/deteriorated masonry bricks at the 6th-floor north elevation affecting the courtyard area, though this was later rescinded in June 2025 after repairs were completed. The property has documented several violations that require attention, including multiple open violations from 2021 inspections related to the 6th floor bulkhead area, such as roof leaks, ceiling paint issues, and a problematic fire escape access situation in apartment 6D. Inspections in 2024 revealed active electrical safety violations regarding the building's facade maintenance.
The building has a history of rodent activity, with inspections showing evidence of rats in 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2022, though the most recent reports from 2025 show no current pest issues. Notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years, from 2019 through 2025. The Department of Buildings records show multiple complaints about boiler issues between 2022-2023, though most were found to have no violations upon inspection or were referred to HPD for follow-up. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with infrastructure systems, particularly heating, plumbing, and facade maintenance, though the recent absence of bedbug and current pest complaints is a positive indication of improved conditions in that regard.
