635 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The five-story tenement building at 635 East 6th Street in the East Village, owned by 635 East 6 LLC, was constructed in 1910 and contains 10 residential units. The property has experienced ongoing pest control challenges, with a notable pattern of rat activity documented between 2023 and 2025.

Most recently, rat activity was recorded during multiple inspections throughout 2024 and early 2025, though a July 2025 inspection passed without issues. The building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with all bedbug reports from 2019 to the present showing zero infested or eradicated units, and the most recent reports from December 2023 and January 2024 confirming no infestations during the reporting periods.

The property has faced some regulatory issues, including two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though it appears these concerns have been resolved, as subsequent reports have been submitted properly. An indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical vapors, gases, or odors was recorded in September 2020 and closed with an advisory to the property management. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly with rodent control, the management's prompt response to maintain required bedbug reporting and the absence of active bedbug infestations in recent years should be noted as a positive aspect of the property's management.
