Prewar Upper East Side co-op carrying an unusually heavy open-violation load for its class.
Dating to 1932, this prewar co-op is managed by Bota Property Management. But the building carries 20 open housing violations — six of them Class C (immediately hazardous, 24-hour fix window) — and the city has stepped in three times to make repairs the co-op didn't. That's the tension to read first. Three things to know:
The city's repair list here isn't small. 20 open housing violations sit on this building — six of them Class C (immediately hazardous, 24-hour fix: no heat, gas leak, exposed lead paint, blocked egress). Nine Class B, five Class A. And three separate times the city sent its own crew in under the Emergency Repair Program — that only happens when the board doesn't move on a hazard call fast enough, so the city does the fix and bills the co-op. Rare on a prewar co-op with an active managing agent.
Downstairs restaurant activity and commercial venting are noticeable on the block. The immediate three-block corridor logged 21 food establishment complaints over the last year, which typically point to vent odors, kitchen exhaust grease, or garbage placement on the sidewalk. Because multi-story vents often run up the side of prewar buildings, these odors can bleed through nearby windows and structural risers.
Commercial machinery and vents are the dominant sounds in the immediate area. The corridor logged 133 noise complaints last year, and they are highly specific: 39 for air conditioning and ventilation gear, and 39 for off-hours construction. It's the hum of mechanical equipment and building maintenance rather than late-night music or crowds.
Deliveries and double-parking heavily concentrate near this stretch of East 73rd. A massive 239 illegal parking complaints were logged in the immediate corridor over the last year, led by 80 blocked hydrants and 37 blocked sidewalks. This isn't long-term vehicle storage; it is active double-parking, commercial deliveries, and short-term arrivals that crowd the curb.
