53 East 95th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128
53 East 95th Street is a 6-story, 18-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, built in 1920 and currently owned by Robert Lemle. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with six documented emergencies between 2021 and 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though most were resolved without violations being issued. More recent concerns include a rat sighting in June 2025, which was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and resulted in a "Passed" inspection.
The building's maintenance history reveals several notable patterns, including three consecutive years (2022-2024) of reported bedbug activity requiring annual reporting, though no actual infestations were documented. There were four citations for failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2019 and 2022, though these have been closed. The property has also faced several safety concerns, including multiple violations in 2019 regarding unpermitted work and maintenance issues, particularly involving the facade and emergency exit paths.
From 2020-2023, there were active violations related to unpermitted cellar demolition work and various facade maintenance issues. Recent inspections for rodent activity in 2025 and 2021 passed, indicating improved pest control efforts, but there was a documented rat sighting in 2025. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control, recent years show improved compliance with health and safety inspections, with the most recent building-wide bedbug report indicating no active infestations.
