745 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

745 East 6th Street is a 6-story, 28-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Sam Policicchio. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with documented complaints in 2018, 2020-2021, and 2021, though in some cases heat and hot water were reportedly restored before inspections could be completed.

The property has also faced challenges with management oversight, as evidenced by multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, along with a 2021 violation regarding the posting of superintendent contact information in the public hall. Recent maintenance needs were highlighted by a December 2023 violation concerning exterior facade conditions, specifically a vertical crack between the 6th and 7th floors at the west elevation, which resulted in a $625 penalty.

The building has been subject to multiple investigations for potential illegal conversion and unauthorized hotel room usage between 2019 and 2021, though most inspections either found no violations or resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access. Notably, the property has maintained a clean record with respect to pest control, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2019, 2022, 2024), and has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2020 through 2025. The building's overall maintenance history suggests periodic challenges with basic services and regulatory compliance, but recent years have shown improvement in terms of pest control and building inspections, with all recent rodent inspections passing and no new bedbug infestations reported since 2019.
