227 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

227 East 7th Street is a 6-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 2013, currently owned by Denise Kuriger and located in Manhattan's East Village neighborhood. The building has experienced several notable incidents over its history, with the most significant being a series of heating and plumbing issues in early 2020, when residents reported problems with heat/hot water and water supply. However, inspections related to these complaints found no violations, though there was a lack of access for HPD to fully investigate the heating issues.

More recently, the building has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections, all passing, from 2019 through 2025. Importantly, there were multiple violations issued in 2019 regarding improper transient use of the building, including illegal hotel rooms, which resulted in several enforcement actions, though these have since been resolved. The building has shown consistent attention to pest control, with its most recent bedbug report filed in April 2024 showing no infested units during the 2022-2023 reporting period, though there were previously annual violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024.

The elevator system has been a point of concern, with violations noted in June 2021 regarding single device service and a non-functioning door restrictor, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed. Additional open violations from 2021 remain active, including failures to perform required inspections and certify corrections of immediately hazardous conditions. The building's most recent tenant safety inspection in June 2025 found no violations, and aside from the outstanding DOB violations, there appear to be no current major safety or habitability concerns.
