73 Avenue C, Manhattan, NY 10009

73 Avenue C is a 6-story New Law tenement building located in the East Village, containing 16 units and constructed in 1920, currently owned by Hsueh Yan. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past year, with multiple complaints recorded between December 2024 and February 2025, affecting the entire building. While some of these complaints were duplicates of previously reported issues, they indicate an ongoing problem with the building's heating system.

In January 2024, several violations were issued specifically for apartment 2, including issues with flooring around risers and radiators, a defective bathroom wash basin cabinet, missing smoke detectors, window guards, carbon monoxide detectors, and self-closing door mechanisms. This apartment also faced pest control challenges, with violations for both roach and mice infestations. The building's maintenance record shows active violations related to the failure to file annual low-pressure external inspections from 2018-2021, as well as a 2017 boiler inspection report, all indicating potential issues with building system maintenance.

A structural concern was raised in November 2024 regarding building shaking/vibrating, though this complaint was closed with a stop work order fully rescinded in March 2025. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections from 2021 through 2025, there were indications of rat activity noted in mid-2020. The property has maintained an active bedbug control program, with no reported infestations in the past three reporting periods from 2021-2025, suggesting effective pest management practices.
