424 East 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

424 East 75th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, owned by Eleanor Patrick and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with the most recent complaints received in October 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, which were subsequently closed after verification of resolution by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

There have been three documented rodent-related incidents between 2022-2023, with the most recent inspection in June 2023 passing compliance, though prior inspections had noted rat activity and required bait application. The building has maintained an active bedbug management program, with no reported infestations in the past seven years (2018-2025). Significant maintenance and safety concerns have been documented over the years, including three Class A violations from a June 2021 inspection related to safety signage and painting requirements in the first-floor public hall, which were certified as corrected by September 2021.

Historical violations from 1989 remain open, including issues with fire escape egress, accumulated refuse, and lighting, particularly regarding the West Court area, though these are now quite dated. The building's permit history shows activity in 2019, with at least three permits issued for work classified as either PL (plumbing) or EW (electrical). Recent maintenance records suggest the building management has been responsive to most complaints, though the recurring nature of pest and rodent issues indicates an ongoing challenge in maintaining optimal living conditions.
