332 East 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 6-story, 28-unit building at 332 East 4th Street in the East Village, owned by Jeppy Bruci, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, with complaints filed in March 2025 and December 2024, though these were eventually marked as resolved. As of April 2025, there is an open complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage.

The building underwent various repairs in 2024, including work on doors/windows, plumbing, and wall conditions, with several inspections confirming corrections were made. A notable cluster of violations was recorded in March 2024 related to roof leaks affecting both public areas and apartment #63, along with multiple violations regarding door and wall conditions. The property has a history of construction-related issues, with several complaints in 2022-2024 regarding work without proper permits and after-hours work.

In December 2022, two violations were recorded for unsafe storage near sidewalks and unpermitted after-hours work, resulting in penalties totaling $1,250. Between 2019-2021, multiple complaints were filed about unauthorized work in occupied units, though most inspections found no violations. The building has also faced challenges with rodent activity, as shown in multiple inspections throughout 2024-2025, though recent inspections indicate some improvements. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported since 2020, and all previous infestations were successfully eradicated, the building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring system failures and delayed repairs that have affected resident comfort and safety.
