345 East 94th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 29-story, 208-unit residential building at 345 East 94th Street, owned by Esrt Chesapeake Owner, Llc, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. Currently, there are open complaints regarding electrical outlets/switches and an appliance (electric/gas range) as of May 2025. In March-April 2025, there were significant concerns regarding heat and hot water distribution throughout the building, followed by a mold issue in March 2025 that HPD was unable to inspect fully. The building has a substantial history of heat and hot water complaints, with multiple service requests filed in March 2025 alone.

Other maintenance issues have included a documented rodent infestation in Apartment 10E (2020), cockroach infestation in Apartment 7A (2023), and water leak problems in Apartment 7A (2023). The building's systems have shown some consistency in inspection pass rates, particularly for rodent inspections, with most recent inspections showing compliance, though there was a "failed for other reasons" result in October 2024. The property has undergone various maintenance and improvement works over the years, with multiple permits issued between 2019-2025 for electrical and plumbing work. There was a concerning incident in 2020 involving construction activities that violated COVID-19 executive orders, resulting in a $5,000 penalty.

The building has shown a pattern of addressing pest control issues, with records indicating one unit each year requiring treatment between 2018-2025. Recent inspections have revealed areas needing attention, particularly regarding electrical systems, as evidenced by the multiple 311 service requests in 2025. The property has maintained a generally active compliance record, with most violations being addressed and closed promptly, though the current open electrical complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's FISP (Façade Inspection and Safety Program) technical report was filed on time, and various safety inspections have been conducted regularly, with most showing compliance with housing maintenance codes.
