127 Avenue C is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the East Village and owned by Steven Croman. The 125-year-old building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024 and 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of unsanitary conditions including pests and mold, with the most recent complaints in November 2024 resulting in violations. Apartment 5A has been a particular focus of recent violations, with documented issues including a pest infestation (mice and roaches), mold, and various maintenance problems affecting walls, floors, and safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has also faced plumbing challenges, with multiple complaints documented in 2023 and 2024, though inspections often found no violations.
Inspection records from 2025 indicate ongoing rodent activity, with rat presence documented during multiple inspections despite some passed inspections. The property has a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reporting periods showing zero cases from 2019 to present. While there have been complaints about building shaking and plumbing issues in 2023, these were determined to have no violations warranting further action. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems and regular upkeep, as evidenced by the recurring pattern of violation issuance and complaint filings through 2024 and 2025.
