361 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 6-story tenement building at 361 East 10th Street in the East Village, owned by Ameet Sachdev and built in 1912, has experienced persistent maintenance and safety concerns over the past several years, with the most recent issues emerging in 2025. Recent complaints in 2025 have centered around flooring/stairs and plumbing issues in bathrooms, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) determined these conditions did not violate housing laws. Throughout 2024 and into 2025, the building faced multiple plumbing problems, including issues with bathtubs/showers, sinks, and steam pipes, as well as water leaks and ceiling problems, all of which were eventually resolved.

The building has a documented history of pest control challenges, with rodent activity noted between April 2024 and April 2025, though recent inspections in 2025 passed without violations. Multiple housing maintenance violations were recorded in late 2020 regarding safety systems, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in several apartments, and there were earlier issues with hot water access in multiple units. The property has shown improvement in certain areas, with bedbug reports from 2020 to 2024 consistently showing zero infested units, and recent rodent inspections in 2025 passing without noted problems. Historical data shows a pattern of maintenance issues being addressed over time, including structural and safety concerns identified through various HPD inspections.

The building's violation history from 2020 included several Class B and C violations related to safety systems and structural elements, all of which were eventually certified as corrected. Additionally, two permits were issued in 2019 for unspecified work under the "EW" category, suggesting some level of maintenance or improvement activities were undertaken. The multiple agency inspections and service requests documented over the years indicate ongoing attention to maintenance issues, with most problems being resolved through official channels, though not always without some initial violations. The building's management has generally responded to violations and complaints, with most cases being closed after appropriate inspections and corrections, though the frequency of plumbing and maintenance-related complaints suggests persistent challenges with building systems and infrastructure.
