215 East 3rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

215 East 3rd Street, a 6-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building from 1900 located in the East Village, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to water infrastructure. Most notably, there have been multiple water supply complaints in late 2024, with similar water-related problems documented throughout 2023-2024, including heavy and slow leaks. The building's systems have shown concerning patterns, with HPD responding to emergency complaints about plumbing, lighting, and mold in September 2023, though no violations were ultimately issued.

Recent maintenance inspections reveal open violations regarding smoke detector and door issues in Apartment 6F from 2021-2023, though these are "C" class violations that typically indicate less severity. The building's recent history shows proactive bedbug management, with zero reported incidents in the past five reporting periods (2020-2025). Regular rodent inspections have been conducted, with the most recent in June 2025 passing, following a period of rat activity noted in January 2023 and a failed inspection in December 2022.

The property maintains active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all recent filings showing no infested units. Despite the persistent water-related issues, the building's overall violation history suggests that most complaints are addressed, even if not all result in formal violations being recorded. The most recent bedbug filings from 2024-2025 indicate effective pest management practices are being maintained.
