415 East 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The six-story, 18-unit tenement building at 415 East 75th Street, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Angel Seda, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues over the past year and a half. Between October 2024 and January 2025, there were multiple complaints about heating problems, both building-wide and in individual apartments, often requiring emergency intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) to address the ongoing maintenance concerns.

The building currently has several active violations from March 2024, including issues with a defective marble landing at the first floor stairs, fire retardant ceiling problems on the sixth story, roof leaks in the public hall, heating system access concerns in the basement, and specific heating and door issues in apartments 9 and 10 on the fourth floor. Additionally, there are important Boiler violations from 2021 indicating equipment issues, including a defective low-water cutoff valve and other safety concerns, with at least one violation still listed as active from April 2023 regarding the failure to file an external low-pressure inspection. Despite these maintenance challenges, the building has shown an ability to address certain issues promptly, as evidenced by the closure of numerous HPD complaints after verification of corrections.

The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, and recent rodent inspections in 2023 showing mixed results, with one passing in December 2023 following an initial failure in November 2023. The building's heating system appears to be the most significant ongoing challenge, with multiple complaints and violations suggesting a recurring pattern of inadequate maintenance and response to tenant concerns. While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, including door and heating system problems, its historical bedbug and pest control record has generally been good, with most inspections passing and minimal infestations reported.
