14 Avenue A, Manhattan, NY 10009

14 Avenue A is a historic 5-story, 16-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's East Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by Jaime Sanmiguel. The building has experienced various maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concern being an open complaint regarding the bell/buzzer/intercom system from March 2025. Significant apartment-specific violations include an open rodent infestation case in Apartment 2 (2024) and multiple outstanding maintenance issues in Apartment 15 (2023) involving defective doors and plaster surfaces.

The property has a documented history of water-related problems, with three heavy flow water leak incidents recorded between 2021-2022, though most recent rodent inspections (2025) have passed. While there were past issues with mold, electrical systems, and garbage/recycling storage, many of these complaints have been resolved through HPD inspections. The building has maintained a consistent bedbug-free record based on annual reporting since 2019, with zero reported infested or re-infested units during the last several reporting periods.

Rodent inspections between 2022-2025 have shown mostly passing results, with one noted failure in July 2023 "for Other Reasons." The property has undergone various maintenance actions, with some violations remaining open as of October 2023. These include issues with self-closing doors and plaster surfaces in Apartment 15, as well as a 2023 violation related to bedbug reporting compliance. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to various building systems and resident concerns, with recent inspections showing improved conditions overall.
