426 East 77th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

The 5-story, 10-unit building at 426 East 77th Street, owned by Gmart Ny 2022 Llc, has a documented history of recurring heat and hot water issues, with three separate complaints in January 2025 alone, comprising both emergency and non-emergency reports for the entire building. This pattern of heating system problems has persisted over several years, with similar complaints recorded in November 2021, October 2020 (multiple instances), and other dates stretching back to 2019. The building has also experienced various maintenance challenges, including issues with garbage/recycling storage in 2021, and problems with electric/gas ranges in 2019-2020, though some of these complaints were closed without violations being found or due to lack of access for inspection.

More positively, the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no reported infestations in the past seven years. A series of Department of Buildings complaints regarding work without a permit in early 2024 were investigated but found no violations. The building underwent an inspection in April 2019 that revealed several administrative violations related to safety postings, including smoke detector requirements and carbon monoxide detector requirements, though most of these violations were subsequently closed, with only one remaining open citation regarding the posting of superintendent contact information.

Additionally, rodent inspections between 2016 and 2020 showed generally positive results, with only one inspection (December 2019) indicating rat activity. The building's heating system appears to be the most persistent and pressing maintenance issue, as evidenced by the frequency and volume of related complaints. The complete records available suggest that while the building has maintained appropriate standards in many areas (such as pest control and safety equipment inspections), the recurring heating system problems represent the most significant ongoing maintenance challenge, particularly affecting tenant comfort during the colder months.
