327 East 92nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The five-story New Law Tenement building at 327 East 92nd Street, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Gerald Musano, has a documented pattern of heat and hot water service issues, particularly between late 2019 and early 2021, when multiple building-wide complaints were filed by tenants regarding inadequate heating and hot water. While these issues were generally addressed promptly, they established a concerning precedent for building maintenance. More recently, in mid-2024, there was a pest-related complaint filed and subsequently closed with no violations cited. The building currently has active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to the failure to file annual low-pressure boiler inspection reports for 2022-2023, with associated violations filed in both 2023 and 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance oversight issues.

There was also a defectively installed boiler noted in 2024 with a penalty of $3,125. The property has experienced two documented bedbug infestations in recent years (2022-2023 and 2023-2024), though both incidents appear to have been resolved. The building has undergone several inspections related to rodent activity, with most recent inspections in 2022-2024 passing without issue, though there were notable concerns about rat activity in 2018. Previous violations from 2021-2022 indicated several maintenance issues, including concerns about fire safety systems and bulkhead maintenance, though these violations were subsequently closed. Two complaints were filed regarding building stability in 2020, though no violations were found during inspection.

Multiple housing maintenance code violations have been recorded and addressed over the years, ranging from heat and hot water system issues to building safety requirements. Regular rodent inspections through NYC's Department of Health have been conducted, with generally favorable results in recent years, and the building's bedbug reporting shows improved management with no infestations reported in the most recent filing period (2023-2024). Recent inspections in 2024 have shown passing results for both rodent inspections and the most recent bedbug reporting period, indicating improved pest management. However, the building's active violations regarding boiler inspection filings, along with the building's historical issues with heat and hot water systems, suggest ongoing maintenance and oversight challenges. The property has had a consistent pattern of responding to inspections and violations, though there have been some instances where access was denied for inspections or follow-up, particularly regarding an illegal conversion complaint in 2019.
