67 East 97th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 12-unit, 6-story building at 67 East 97th Street, owned by Msmc Residential Realty Llc, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are currently four open violations related to lead-based paint hazard control requirements as of December 2024, affecting apartments 6, 7, 10, and 1. The building has also faced safety concerns, with the most recent complaint in October 2024 regarding a broken or missing window guard that HPD was unable to inspect.

A significant cluster of complaints and violations occurred in August 2022, including mold issues, window frame problems, and various paint/plaster concerns, particularly in apartment 12, which was later found to have multiple safety deficiencies including missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. Recent inspections in 2025 have revealed continuing rodent activity, though some inspections have passed. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of complaints where HPD was unable to access affected areas for inspection, particularly during the 2022 complaints.

While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status since 2019 based on regular reporting requirements, other infrastructure issues persist. The property missed the 2024 FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report deadline as of February 2024, though this violation had not been officially processed as of the latest data. The building's most recent 311 complaints suggest ongoing safety concerns, particularly regarding window guards, and a pattern of violations that remains open despite being temporarily addressed or closed through various inspection processes.
