633 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

633 East 6th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's East Village, built in 1910 and currently owned by Bita Sassouni. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being a recurring water leak problem. Two water leak complaints were reported on September 29, 2023, which were subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and resulted in violations.

The building also faced heat and hot water issues in March 2020 that were closed due to lack of access for inspection. More recent inspections in October 2023 revealed multiple violations related to Apartment 5W, including roof leak issues affecting multiple rooms, damaged plaster surfaces, and a citation for unauthorized alterations to the roof decking and wood lattice fencing. The building's maintenance history indicates both ongoing challenges and some areas of improved management.

A notable finding from 2023 was the requirement to repair or replace defective self-closing doors at the bulkhead and vestibule on different floors. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history with consistent zero infestation rates reported since 2019, there are currently open rodent activity challenges as indicated by recent inspections in 2025. These inspections have shown rat activity, though prior inspections from 2022-2024 generally passed without issue. The building's violation history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with some violations properly certified as of November 2023, suggesting responsive management of certain maintenance matters.
