35 East 35th Street, Manhattan

A stable Murray Hill high-rise held by the same family for decades, currently facing active roof leaks on its top floor.

Built in 1955, this 123-unit building is run by Mark Perlbinder, whose family has held interest in the deeds here since at least 1995. While it avoids the heavy systemic backlogs of some Midtown towers, it currently carries active roof-leak violations on its twelfth floor alongside elevated block-level noise and venting reports. Three things to know:

Active roof leaks are causing water damage in a top-floor unit. Four open violations issued in March 2026 call for repairs to a leaking roof affecting Apartment 12C on the twelfth story, which has caused ceiling damage, peeling paint, and broken plaster. Top-floor lookers should verify if the structural roof work is actually complete or just patched inside the unit.

Venting and air quality reports suggest nearby commercial odors. Within three blocks, there were 13 food establishment complaints and 6 indoor air quality calls over the last year. These kinds of odors and ventilation issues often stem from restaurant venting or HVAC systems, which can bleed into units depending on how the building's intake is set up.

Surrounding streets stay busy with after-hours noise. The three blocks around the building saw 169 street-noise complaints—specifically 151 loud music and party calls—alongside 108 general noise calls over the past year, heavily driven by after-hours construction. It is a lively midtown pocket where street-level hum is a regular part of the environment.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 82 encampment calls within three blocks over the last year, with the most recent in July 2026
• 60 requests for homeless person assistance in the same three-block radius over the last 12 months
• 26 heat and hot water complaints over the years, though they generally resolve within a few days
• Typical midtown-adjacent activity on the surrounding pavement, though the building's operations stay relatively steady.
