151 Avenue B, Manhattan, NY 10009

The four-story residential building at 151 Avenue B, owned by Judith Rhodes, is an 1849 structure classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building, containing 5 units in the East Village neighborhood. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero cases of infestation or eradication. The building has also consistently passed rodent inspections from 2020 through 2025, indicating effective pest management.

However, the building has experienced recent significant structural concerns, most notably in June 2025 when a Partial Vacate Order was issued due to bulging masonry, spalling brick/mortar, and step-cracking brickwork observed on a neighboring building (605 East 9th Street). This situation led to restrictions on access to the vacated area due to unsafe conditions. Prior to this, there were two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022 and 2023 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations have since been closed.

A gas utility complaint from 2019 was investigated but found no violations at that time. The most recent construction-related complaint from June 2025 was marked as compliant following inspection. While the building has encountered some maintenance issues, particularly with its neighboring structure affecting safety procedures, the property has generally maintained regular compliance with safety and maintenance requirements over the past several years.
