331 East Houston Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

331 East Houston Street is a 13-story, 78-unit Class A residential building located in the Lower East Side, completed in 2014 and currently owned by Robert Seiden. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent being a lighting problem reported in March 2023 and a smoking violation in February 2023.

Notable concerns include multiple refrigeration appliance complaints in 2021, plumbing issues affecting toilets and sinks in 2019, and an indoor air quality incident involving chemical vapors in January 2021. The building has a series of significant violations related to safety equipment in Apartment 7E, including missing or defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors identified in inspections between 2022-2023, though these violations were eventually certified as closed. The property is currently facing an active Environmental Control Board violation from December 2022 regarding the failure to submit an acceptable Cycle 9A report of critical examination for exterior walls, resulting in a $6,250 penalty.

However, on a positive note, 331 East Houston Street has maintained excellent pest management records, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2019 and consistent passing results in rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025. The building's maintenance history shows regular inspections and prompt addressing of various issues, though some problems have required multiple complaints before resolution. Recent housing maintenance code violations have also included requirements for proper notice postings regarding safety protocols and housing information, with most of these being resolved through certification processes.
