234 East 34th Street is a 4-story, 23-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Clarkson Hood. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most recent concerns including a cooking gas violation in May 2025 and previously unresolved problems with water leaks and intercom systems in 2024. The building has faced multiple sanitary challenges, particularly related to pest control, with several complaints filed between October 2022 and December 2022, though some complaints could not be inspected due to access issues.
A significant cluster of violations was documented in October 2022 regarding apartment B5, including issues with bathroom fixtures, wall tiles, and security features, many of which remain open as of the most recent inspection records. Recent building maintenance records show various plumbing and maintenance issues, including water supply problems in June 2023 and sanitation concerns. The property has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2025), and passed rodent inspections in 2018 and 2022.
There is currently an open B-class violation from August 2024 regarding a fire escape obstruction at the third-story balcony, and an open C-class violation concerning an unauthorized electromagnetic locking device at the building entrance. The building's most recent Department of Buildings inspection from January 2024 found no violations for a complaint regarding work without a permit. An active DOB violation from June 2023 concerns an unfiled low-pressure inspection. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, recent records show some violations have been properly addressed, though several remain outstanding as of the latest inspections.
