637 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The five-story, 10-unit building at 637 East 6th Street in the East Village, owned by Bita Sassouni, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, particularly related to heating systems. There have been two notable heat/hot water complaints - one in January 2023 involving the entire building, and another in January 2020 concerning a single apartment - both classified as emergencies. The building has also dealt with various infrastructure challenges, including a significant water leak in late 2018 that was classified as heavy flow, and multiple rodent-related incidents, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 passing, though earlier inspections in 2024 and 2022 had documented rat activity.

The property has undergone several inspections and received various violations that have since been resolved. These include issues with building lighting at the front entrance (2019), interior maintenance needs in Apartment 5 (2018), exposed electrical wiring in public areas (2018), and the requirement to post carbon monoxide detector notices (2018). All violations have been closed and certified as corrected.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs since 2020, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 showing zero infested units. The building has passed recent rodent inspections, though there were periods of rat activity documented in 2022 and earlier inspections. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and health inspections, with all open violations addressed promptly.
