114 East 53rd Street is a 4-story, 34-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929, currently owned by Susan Ann Associates Inc. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past two years, with three building-wide heat/hot water complaints reported in 2025 alone (April and January) and additional issues in 2024 and 2023. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 revealed various maintenance concerns, including unsanitary conditions with pests (April 2025), plumbing issues (May 2025), and wall damage requiring paint/plaster repairs (April 2025).
The Department of Buildings records show multiple historical concerns related to illegal conversions, construction work, and building stability between 2019-2023, though access for inspections was often denied or could not be secured. The building has several active and recently resolved violations regarding building safety requirements, including three active violations from 2024-2025 related to energy efficiency score and grading display requirements. Previous violations from 2019-2021 regarding vacate order postings were also noted, with significant penalties.
A notable pattern emerges from recent complaints, particularly regarding heating systems, which have been a recurring issue throughout 2023-2025. However, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations across multiple reporting periods from 2017-2025. Additionally, while rodent activity was noted in 2022, earlier inspections in 2012-2013 passed. The property has been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code Violations, with the most recent focusing on plumbing, pest control, and wall maintenance issues.
