425 East 76th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The 11-story residential building at 425 East 76th Street, owned by Sheena Basu, has faced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2020. Most notably, there are multiple active violations related to the building's facade and pressure system inspections, including an "Unsafe Notification" for the facade issued in January 2024, and violations for failure to file 2023 and 2024 external low-pressure inspections. Previous facade-related concerns were documented in a 2020 ECB violation, which noted defects including cracked/spalled concrete on balcony surfaces and resulted in a $1,250 penalty.

The building has had recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving annual violations between 2021 and 2023, although recent filings from late 2023 and 2024 show no reported infestations. There were also plumbing issues reported in 2021 regarding water supply, which were subsequently resolved. The property's maintenance history includes a concerning period in 2022 when a rodent sighting complaint was filed but could not be inspected by the Department of Health.

However, between 2010 and 2019, the building consistently passed multiple rodent inspections, showing good pest control measures. The building appears to have made some efforts toward maintenance, as evidenced by multiple permits issued for exterior work in 2018 and 2020. The most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 indicate no units have experienced infestations, suggesting improved pest management. While there are active violations that require attention, particularly regarding the facade and pressure system inspections, the building has shown some improvement in its recent pest control management, with no reported infestations in the past two years.
