324 East 94th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

324 East 94th Street is a 5-story, 18-unit Old Law Tenement building built in 1920 and currently owned by Bita Sasouni. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent months, with three separate complaints filed between October and November 2024, all relating to the entire building. Interestingly, despite the heat complaints, HPD inspections were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The building has also faced challenges with rodent control, with multiple violations reported between 2021-2024. While the most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 passed, previous inspections in 2022 showed rat activity, though there were also compliance passes, suggesting some ongoing management of the issue. The building's maintenance history shows attention to regulatory requirements, with bedbug reporting indicating one infested unit in the 2024-2025 period, though earlier filings showed no infestations. A notable housing maintenance code violation from March 2023 required the building to file its annual bedbug report.

Additionally, the building's exterior lighting at the front entrance was cited for inadequate illumination in 2018, though this was certified as corrected within weeks. A complaint about illegal after-hours work in October 2022 was investigated but found no violations. The property has managed to pass most rodent inspections, as evidenced by several "passed" results, but the frequency of "rat activity" findings suggests this remains an ongoing concern. The building's permit history shows an issued permit in August 2020, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available data.
