272 East 3rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

272 East 3rd Street is a five-story, eight-unit residential building located in the East Village, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by David Ogrin. The building has demonstrated generally good maintenance practices in recent years, with consistent passing results on rodent inspections conducted annually between 2019 and 2025, indicating effective pest management.

Bedbug reports have shown minimal activity, with only one confirmed infestation in 2020, though subsequent inspections through 2024-2025 reported no further occurrences. The building experienced two significant Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints during the period from 2019 to 2021 - one regarding illegal activity in 2019 (which found no violations upon inspection) and another in 2021 concerning maintenance issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempt. Recent compliance issues have emerged regarding external low-pressure inspection requirements, with an active violation issued in April 2023 for failure to file the 2022 inspection, despite this violation being dismissed later that year.

The building has demonstrated responsiveness to maintenance needs, as evidenced by the issuance of permits in March 2019 for both plumbing (PL) and electrical (EW) work under job number 123526577. The property has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections, passing each one without fail, suggesting a committed approach to environmental health standards. While there have been some compliance issues, the overall pattern indicates a building that, while experiencing occasional maintenance challenges, has largely maintained good standards of habitability and safety.
