21 Avenue C, Manhattan, NY 10009
The 6-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building at 21 Avenue C in the East Village, owned by Miguel Valderrama, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2021. Most recently, in June 2024, there was a reported safety issue involving broken or missing window guards, though no violations were found upon inspection by HPD. The building has undergone multiple rodent control inspections in 2025, with recorded rat activity in March and June 2025, and several instances of bait application suggesting an ongoing pest management challenge.
Water quality concerns were investigated by the Department of Health in 2021, though no health code violations were found. The building's compliance history shows persistent issues with documentation requirements, particularly regarding annual bedbug and boiler inspection reports. Violations were issued in 2019 for failing to file boiler inspection reports, though these were later dismissed in 2021.
Between 2021 and 2024, the building had documented one bedbug infestation case in 2019-2020, but subsequent annual reports from 2021-2025 indicate no further infestations. The property has undergone multiple inspections related to housing maintenance codes, including an emergency window guard violation in 2024 and annual bedbug reporting violations in 2021-2023. Recent construction-related complaints in October 2024 did not result in any violations. The building's age (constructed in 1900) and classification as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with typical New York City housing stock of its era.
