133 Avenue D, Manhattan, NY 10009
The 20-unit, 6-story tenement building at 133 Avenue D in the East Village, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Thomas Higgins, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building in early 2025, with ten separate complaints filed between January 29 and February 4 of that year.
The building is currently facing open violations related to fire safety, with inspections in July 2024 revealing problems with the fire escape system including defective ladders and obstructions. Additionally, there are persistent issues with building access and maintenance, as indicated by the open complaints in 2025 regarding door problems (Emergency status) and unsanitary conditions (Pests - Open status). The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heat and hot water issues, particularly in early 2025, and irregularities with pest control despite passing recent rodent inspections in 2025.
Historical data indicates previous concerns about illegal hotel rooms (2021) and boiler problems (2024), though inspectors were unable to gain access during those inspections. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with no reported infestations since 2019, the current open violations related to fire safety and security infrastructure are of particular concern. The property also recently failed to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection documentation as of September 2024, indicating potential regulatory compliance issues.
