317 East 93rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The five-story, 11-unit Old Law Tenement building at 317 East 93rd Street, owned by Laurie Festa, has been standing since 1925. The most significant incident in recent history occurred in May 2021, when the building experienced heat and hot water issues that affected the entire structure, leading to emergency violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) under §27-2031. These violations included a locked boiler room door in the basement and insufficient hot water supply in apartment 4N.

During the same inspection, multiple administrative violations were identified, including the lack of proper safety signs and notifications in the first-story public hall, such as building registration numbers and smoke detector requirements. While there was one report of illegal after-hours work in January 2021, this complaint was dismissed upon inspection. The building has shown consistent attention to pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past six years (2018-2024) and the most recent bedbug report for 2024 confirmed zero units affected.

Rodent inspections have been conducted regularly, with the most recent results in 2024 showing passed inspections in October 2024 and December 2023. Notably, there were instances of rat activity recorded in October 2023 and June 2021, though these were isolated occurrences among generally favorable inspection results. The building's violation history shows that all identified issues from the 2021 inspections were certified as corrected by June 2021, demonstrating prompt attention to the violations once they were formally recorded.
