55 East 80th Street, Manhattan, NY 10075

The 8-unit residential building at 55 East 80th Street in the Upper East Side, owned by Marc Rosenblatt, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly related to elevator safety and building compliance. Most recently, in July 2024, violations were recorded for missing signage requirements, including an inspection certificate frame and housing information guide notice, though these violations were eventually closed in August 2024.

There is an active Environmental Control Board violation from October 2023 regarding elevator signage and equipment, with a penalty of $625.00. The building has had multiple complaints regarding its single-elevator system, with three complaints in 2024 alone, though inspections found no violations warranting action each time, except for a service violation issued in October 2023. The elevator-related issues seem to have persisted over the years, with a documented failure to perform a required Category 5 inspection in May 2019.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2018, with all annual reports showing zero infested units. While there was one instance of rat activity noted in December 2020, the building passed subsequent rodent inspections in 2021 and previous years, suggesting this was an isolated occurrence. The property has undergone regular inspection and compliance processes, with the most recent major violation related to elevator equipment and safety requirements, though the building's management has generally responded promptly to address issues as they arise.
