137 Avenue C, Manhattan, NY 10009

The five-story, four-unit old law tenement at 137 Avenue C in the East Village, owned by Thomas Klosinski, has a documented history of pest-related concerns and maintenance activities over the past several years. Most notably, in early 2024, two complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) on January 23 and subsequently closed in April due to lack of access for inspection.

These incidents occurred despite a consistent pattern of bedbug reporting compliance showing no infested units for five consecutive annual reports from 2019 through 2024, with the most recent filing in December 2024 indicating zero infested units and no eradication or re-infestation cases. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent attention to pest management, with rodent inspections consistently passing in 2022 through 2025, including recent inspections in January and July 2025.

While there were three Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2019 and 2021, all were marked as closed. Additionally, a lighting deficiency was documented in 2019 concerning inadequate exterior lighting at the front entranceway. The property appears to have maintained basic habitability standards, with regular rodent inspections passing consistently, though the inability to inspect during unsanitary condition complaints raises some concern about access issues for regulatory agencies.
