255 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The five-story, eight-unit old law tenement at 255 East 7th Street in the East Village, owned by Stefan Milan, has been subject to recurring concerns regarding unauthorized hotel rentals, with three complaints (2021, 2023, and most recently in May 2025) about illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings.

Each of these complaints resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access on their second final attempts. The building also experienced one plumbing-related complaint in 2021, following the same pattern of inspector access issues.

In terms of pest control and general building maintenance, the property has demonstrated good performance with no reported bedbug infestations over the past five years, as evidenced by six consecutive bedbug reports (2020-2024) showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Rodent inspections have shown consistent compliance, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, though there was one failed inspection in November 2023 for "other reasons." The building's overall inspection record suggests regular oversight and enforcement, with particular attention required to address unauthorized short-term rentals, though these issues appear to be primarily related to access for verification rather than immediate safety concerns once access is gained.
