23 Avenue B, Manhattan, NY 10009
23 Avenue B is a four-story, seven-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the East Village, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Terrence Lowenberg. The building has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centered around food safety, as evidenced by multiple Department of Health complaints regarding food poisoning (2023, 2024) and rodent/insect issues (2025) at an on-premises food establishment.
The building's maintenance record shows regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 through 2024, with no reported infestations in the past three years. In 2021, there was a series of construction-related issues, with multiple complaints about work contrary to stop work orders, though inspections ultimately found no violations warranting penalties. The property has a history of violations related to inspection filings, particularly for external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2022, though these were subsequently dismissed.
In terms of recent improvements, several permits were issued between 2020-2023 for various work types, including alterations, facade work, and other maintenance activities. The building's 311 service complaints, primarily related to food safety concerns, represent the most significant recent issues, with the latest being a rodent/insect/garbage complaint in May 2025 that was closed by the Department of Health. While the building has had its share of violations and enforcement actions, many have been resolved or dismissed upon review, and recent bedbug reports indicate a consistently controlled pest management program.
