199 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The five-story, 19-unit tenement building at 199 East 7th Street in the East Village, owned by David Bujnowski and constructed in 1935, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in November 2023, there were two emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water and water supply problems, though inspections found no violations.

The building has a documented history of rodent-related issues, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025 showing varying results, including rat activity in January 2025 and passing inspections in July 2025, though a 2022 infestation case was closed without active violations. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 revealed several concerning conditions, particularly in Apartment 1B, including water leaks, visible mold, and defective self-closing doors, while violations regarding egress from the yard to the street were noted in multiple inspections.

The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status across multiple annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, with no units reported as infested or requiring eradication. While some violations from 2022 remain open as of the latest records, including issues with fire egress and self-closing doors, the building has shown improvements in other areas, including recent passed rodent inspections and consistent bedbug-free status.
