274 East 3rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
274 East 3rd Street is a 9-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building in the East Village, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Moshe Samouha. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with five documented complaints between December 2024 and January 2025, though inspectors were repeatedly unable to gain access for verification. More recently, in February 2025, there was a door-related complaint that was inspected but found not to violate housing laws.
Several maintenance issues have been documented through violations and complaints, including a broken radiator shut-off valve in apartment 7 (December 2024), and various door problems in apartments 1 and 8 between 2022 and 2024, with the building also facing unsanitary condition complaints regarding garbage and recycling storage in November 2024. The property has a history of regulatory scrutiny, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints and violations since 2018. These include three active violations from 2019 related to unauthorized restaurant modifications and occupancy concerns, though some similar complaints from previous years were resolved.
The building has maintained generally good rodent control, with all inspections from 2021 through 2025 showing "Passed" results, except for one instance in 2019 indicating rat activity. The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past five reporting periods. Historical complaints and violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and security features, though many recent complaints have been addressed or resolved through inspections.
