198 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

198 East 7th Street is a 6-story, 14-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the East Village, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Maura Sircus. The building has undergone regular inspections and reporting requirements, demonstrating compliance with several city regulations.

Most notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in any of the annual reporting periods from 2019-2025, with all filings showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building's rodent control efforts have shown generally positive results, with three "Passed" inspections in 2025 alone, though there was one recorded instance of "Rat Activity" in January 2025 that warrants attention. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges, particularly related to water supply issues in April 2022, which prompted two immediate emergency complaints.

While these complaints were eventually closed without violations being issued, they represent the most significant recent maintenance concern on record. The building has maintained good standing in terms of general health and safety inspections, with the most recent being a passed rodent inspection in July 2025. A food establishment-related complaint regarding rodents/insects/garbage was closed in early 2025, though it was handled by the NYC Health Department and its specifics are not detailed in the available records.
