303 East 93Rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

303 East 93rd Street is a 4-story, 46-unit old law tenement building in the Upper East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Vikas Gupta. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heavy water leak in August 2023 that required HPD intervention.

There have also been recurring heating problems, including an emergency heat/hot water complaint in December 2019 affecting apartment 1B, which was documented in the Housing Maintenance Code violations. The property has maintained an open violation status regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded between 2021 and 2024, indicating non-compliance with HPD rules. In terms of pest control, the building has undergone rodent inspections that consistently passed from 2019 through 2024, with only two instances of rat activity noted in late 2019, while more recent inspections have shown no further issues.

The building's history also includes a dust-related indoor air quality complaint in August 2021 (presumably related to construction work) and a Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violation from 2018 concerning failure to comply with a previous commissioner's order, though this was subsequently resolved. The property has maintained a generally good record in terms of rodent control, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 showing passed results, suggesting improved pest management practices. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating and water systems, the responsiveness of city agencies to these complaints indicates an ongoing effort to address building concerns as they arise.
