334 East 93rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

334 East 93rd Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Carol Achen Baum. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint filed in October 2023 being particularly concerning as HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported lack of heat/hot water throughout the entire building. This followed a similar heat and hot water complaint in January 2019, though tenants reported the issue was resolved by the time of inspection.

The building's maintenance record shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no reported infestations in the past five years. A notable rodent incident occurred in 2019, with inspections revealing rat activity in January and November, but subsequent inspections through 2024 have consistently passed, suggesting improved rodent control measures. The property has demonstrated generally good maintenance practices, with regular bedbug reporting and successful rodent control efforts in recent years.

The building was issued a violation notice in April 2021 regarding the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent filings show compliance. While the building has experienced periodic heating system issues, particularly in 2019 and 2023, these incidents appear to be isolated and not part of a persistent pattern. The most recent inspections and complaint filings suggest that while there are recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heat and hot water systems, the property has generally maintained compliance with health and safety regulations, passing all recent rodent inspections and demonstrating proper bedbug reporting practices.
