434 East 76th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021
The 20-unit, 5-story tenement building at 434 East 76th Street, owned by Celestino Acevedo and dating back to 1910, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. The most concerning recent problems involve multiple heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with four such complaints recorded in 2025 alone. Additional recurring maintenance issues have included electrical problems (inadequate lighting), water-related concerns (including an open plumbing complaint about a radiator), and issues with mold, paint, and plaster, though many of these complaints were closed when HPD was unable to gain access to conduct inspections.
The building has also been subject to several Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2023-2024, including issues with improper electrical wiring in the vestibule, encumbrances in the public hall, and unauthorized alterations in a gas meter room. The property has faced significant compliance challenges, as evidenced by multiple Environmental Control Board violations from 2023-2024, including concerns about illegal plumbing work, unpermitted construction activities, and improper dryer installations. Three class 1 ECB violations from 2023-2024 remain active regarding certification of corrections.
While there was some troubling evidence of bedbug infestations in 2021 (involving three units), more recent filings (2022-2023) show no reported infestations, and the building has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2010 through most recent checks in 2019-2020. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system problems, electrical issues, and various code violations, though there have been improvements in some areas, such as recent successful pest control efforts. The property has undergone multiple housing inspections with varying results, and there are several open violations requiring attention, particularly regarding plumbing systems, unauthorized alterations, and heating infrastructure.
