321 East 93rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

321 East 93rd Street is a 5-story, 10-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Vincent Ventura. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past two years, with two complaints in 2025 and two in 2024, all requiring HPD intervention. A concerning pattern of rodent activity has been documented, particularly in 2022-2023, with multiple complaints and inspection responses showing varying levels of infestation, though recent inspections in October 2024 and October 2023 passed without violations.

The building's systems and safety requirements have come under scrutiny, with several housing maintenance code violations identified during a June 2022 inspection, including issues with emergency signage requirements related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide devices, and gas leak procedures, though these violations are classified as "A" status meaning they require correction. There have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past six reporting periods from 2019-2024, suggesting effective management of this particular pest issue. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to basic infrastructure needs, with various emergency complaints being addressed by HPD, including a cooking gas complaint in April 2023.

However, the frequency of heat and hot water complaints (including both apartment-specific and building-wide issues) indicates an ongoing challenge with building systems. The property has gone through multiple rodent baiting treatments in 2023, with inspections showing rat activity through April 2023 before transitioning to a passed inspection in October 2024. While some improvements in rodent control have been achieved, the historical pattern suggests this has been an ongoing concern. The building's maintenance record demonstrates regular interaction with city agencies, particularly HPD and DOHMH, indicating an active management response to tenant complaints, though the recurring nature of certain issues suggests challenges in achieving long-term resolutions.
