348 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

348 East 10th Street is a 10-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's East Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by Isca Greenfield-Sanders. The building has experienced several noteworthy issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns being related to chimney safety.

In December 2022, two active violations were issued regarding a freestanding and leaning chimney flue extension, requiring both demolition and securement to prevent weather infiltration and ensure stability. Prior to this, in mid-2021, there were serious concerns regarding building safety, with complaints about falling debris and the building being vacant, open, and unguarded, though inspectors were unable to gain access in one instance and found no violations in another.

The building has maintained an impressive record regarding pest control, with no reported instances of bedbug infestations in the past five years, as evidenced by consistent reports showing zero infested or eradicated units. While there have been several rodent inspection failures in recent years (notably in October 2024, October 2023, and May 2023), these have primarily been for "Other Reasons," and the most recent inspection in April 2025 passed successfully. The building's violation history shows a pattern of safety-related concerns that have required ongoing attention, particularly regarding the chimney structure in recent years, while remaining free of bedbug issues and demonstrating some improvements in rodent control compliance.
