631 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

631 East 6th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the East Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by David Salamon. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent being a rodent-related health violation identified in June 2024 by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which requires follow-up inspections. This building has a troubling pattern of water-related problems, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations, including a slow leak in 2023 and a heavy flow issue in 2021.

Electrical, mold, and general maintenance problems have also been documented, particularly in 2023 when multiple violations were recorded in Apartment 4A, including issues with doors, light fixtures, and window hardware. The building's recent history shows ongoing concerns with pests, including regular rat activity inspections between 2024 and 2025, with bait applied multiple times in late 2024. While the property has maintained a record of no bedbug infestations in recent years (2020-2024), other maintenance issues remain persistent.

The building faces an active violation regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, dating from April 2023. Past emergency complaints have included building-wide heating and hot water failures in late 2020 and early 2021. While some issues have been addressed promptly, as indicated by closure of various complaints, the frequency and nature of the complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
