441 East 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The 5-story, 8-unit tenement building at 441 East 75th Street, built in 1910 and currently owned by Howard Hershkovich, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in mid-2020. During this period, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions (mold), paint/plaster issues on ceilings, and water supply plumbing problems, all of which were ultimately closed with varying outcomes - some required inspections resulted in violations, while in others, inspectors were unable to gain access.

A separate emergency complaint regarding the entire building's heat and hot water systems was recorded in late 2019, though residents reported that these services were restored during the inspection. More recent records show some ongoing maintenance concerns as of 2020, particularly a set of open violations related to apartment 4A, including issues with a leaking roof, defective self-closing doors, and problems with plastered surfaces and paint on ceilings.

However, the building's maintenance record has generally improved in terms of pest control and bedbug management; official reports from 2020 through 2024 show zero infested units, and regular rodent inspections between 2011 and 2020 mostly resulted in passing grades, with only one inspection in 2016 showing "Rat Activity." The most recent bedbug reports for 2023 and 2024 show no evidence of infestations or eradications. The building has also undergone inspections regarding illegal work and debris issues in 2022, though no significant violations were found in these cases. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly in 2020, more recent records indicate improved conditions, particularly regarding pest management and bedbug compliance.
