653 East 5th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
The 8-unit, 6-story tenement building at 653 East 5th Street in the East Village, owned by Jeanette Irizarry, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint filed in November 2023. This emergency complaint, along with prior incidents in January 2022, indicates an ongoing heating system reliability problem, though the building achieved rodent-free compliance in April 2025 after previous detections in late 2024. Multiple open violations as of 2023-2024 suggest management challenges, including issues with water temperature and heating systems.
The building has also received several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to lack of proper bedbug reporting requirements, though records show no confirmed infestations between 2020-2021. Additionally, the property has accumulated multiple Department of Buildings violations for failing to file external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2023, impacting its overall compliance record. The building's recent history includes varying inspection results for rat activity, with the last confirmed rat activity detection occurring in late 2024.
Multiple safety-related violations remain open, including a locked boiler room access issue and inadequate heat supply problems documented in late 2023. The property has maintained generally good rodent inspection compliance over the years, with multiple successful passes since 2020, but recent assessments show occasional rat activity. The building also faced some regulatory compliance issues regarding proper signage and emergency procedures in 2018, though these violations have not been resolved according to current records.
