49 East 96th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029
49 East 96th Street is an 18-story, 75-unit residential building constructed in 1939, currently owned by James Mcquaid. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent months, with six heat/hot water complaints filed between March and April 2025, three of which were for the entire building. While some of these complaints were resolved or not verified during inspections, these recurring issues merit attention.
The building also faced rodent challenges in 2023-2024, with several bait applications noted between August and December 2023, though recent rodent inspections from December 2024 and June 2025 passed. In terms of building maintenance and safety, there were multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations identified in 2024 related to required postings in the lobby area, including heat system information and building registration details. The property underwent façade restoration work in 2019 that resulted in several Environmental Control Board violations regarding construction safety and documentation, though these were eventually resolved.
The building has consistently filed bedbug reports showing zero infested or eradicated units from 2019 through 2024, indicating effective pest management. Recent permit activity includes a plumbing permit issued in August 2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvement work. The building's management has demonstrated compliance with most regulatory requirements, as evidenced by recent successful rodent inspections and the absence of active bedbug infestations.
