271 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
271 East 7th Street is a 5-unit, 4-story old law tenement building located in Manhattan's East Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by 271 East 7th Street Owners, Inc. The building has experienced several significant incidents related to basic amenities and pest control over the past few years. Most notably, in December 2022, there was a heat/hot water complaint regarding the entire building, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development were unable to gain access to verify the issue.
The property has consistently received violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2023, though recent filings show no infested or re-infested units reported for the 2023-2024 period. The building has undergone various inspections and faced multiple challenges with rodent activity in recent years. While a passed rodent inspection was recorded in May 2025, there were notable instances of rat activity in late 2024, particularly in November to December 2024.
An April 2021 compliance inspection yielded a failed result for "Other Reasons" regarding pest control. The Department of Buildings records show some plumbing-related issues between 2018-2020, including a Stop Work Order that was ultimately rescinded, and an access denial for inspection in September 2019. Despite these challenges, recent documentation suggests some improvements, including the most recent Bedbug Reporting (2024) showing no current infestations and largely passing rodent inspections, with only two instances of rat activity noted in the past year compared to previous years.
