507 East 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

507 East 73rd Street is a 6-story, 30-unit residential building constructed in 1920 on the Upper East Side, currently owned by Kelvin Trevino. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with the most recent complaint filed in January 2024 regarding complete building heating problems, for which HPD could not gain access to inspect. This followed a series of heating complaints in 2022, including both apartment-specific and building-wide issues.

Other significant maintenance concerns include ventilation system problems (2022), multiple mold incidents (2022), a water leak with violations issued (2022), and various electrical, paint, and pest-related issues, all of which were eventually addressed according to HPD records. The building's violation history shows several notable safety and maintenance issues, particularly in 2022 when multiple fire escape problems were identified, including defective treads on multiple floors and other defects requiring replacement. Additional violations include issues with self-closing doors, loose stucco, and a violation related to hot water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit in Apartment 13.

More recently, as of 2024, there are outstanding bedbug reporting requirements from 2022 that remain open. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2010 and 2019, suggesting effective pest control measures. While many historical issues have been resolved, the recurring nature of heating problems and some open violations indicates ongoing maintenance challenges within the building. The most recent bedbug report from 2025 shows no current infestation issues.
