249 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 13-unit, 6-story cooperative building at 249 East 7th Street in the East Village, constructed in 2001, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there was a significant heat and hot water emergency complaint affecting the entire building in February 2021, though this particular issue was closed within a week. The building has been subject to repeated violations regarding bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2024, with all such violations marked as Class A and subsequently closed.

More recently, as of June 2023, there is an active violation related to the failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection. The building has experienced some challenges with pest control, particularly evident in its rodent inspection results. Between 2022 and 2025, there have been multiple instances of rat activity recorded during inspections in May and November 2024, although recent inspections in early 2025 have passed with no rodent issues noted.

The Department of Buildings has issued several permits for work at the property, including mechanical and plumbing permits, with the most recent activity being the issuance of a permit in October 2018. A notable violation recorded in 2018 involved the removal or defacement of a posted vacate order related to an airshaft issue, though this was resolved with no penalty imposed. The building's management has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with the 2024-2025 report showing no infested units.
