73 East 115th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

73 East 115th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by 73 EAST 115TH STREET ASSOCIATES. The building has experienced recurrent heating and hot water issues, with three documented outages in the past year (2024-2025) affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These complaints were generally resolved quickly, though HPD faced access difficulties during inspections.

Additional maintenance concerns have included multiple plumbing issues in September 2024, including problems with water supply and sink/basin facilities, as well as a mold-related unsanitary condition reported in late 2024. The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug control measures, with no reported infestations since 2019. A significant infrastructure concern emerged in 2020 regarding elevator service, with violations related to an expired fire extinguisher and door lock monitoring.

However, recent inspections (most recently in May 2025) showed no current violations or safety concerns related to the elevator system. The building has maintained good rodent control, passing all recent inspections from 2019 through 2025, with the most recent inspection in February 2025 confirming compliance. A single housing maintenance violation was recorded in 2021 related to entrance door self-closing mechanisms for apartment 5A, which was subsequently corrected. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating systems, recent data suggests improved responsiveness to complaints and resolution of identified problems, though access issues during inspections remain a persistent challenge.
