36 Avenue A, Manhattan, NY 10009
The 5-story, 33-unit apartment building at 36 Avenue A in the East Village, owned by Bita Sassouni, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues since 2020. Most notably, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water outages in February-March 2020 affecting the entire building, though these were reportedly resolved. The building has had recurring plumbing issues, with multiple complaints about water supply problems and sink/basin issues between 2020-2021, all of which were inspected and closed without violations.
A concerning ongoing issue is the "Construction Lead Dust" complaint from January 2021 that remains unresolved as of October 2023. Recent inspections and violations show a mixed maintenance record. In 2022, there were violations related to fire escape obstruction (flower pots) and a broken window counterbalance, though these were subsequently addressed.
The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past five years, as confirmed by the most recent December 2024 filing. However, rodent inspections have shown inconsistent results, with the building passing in April 2025 but failing in February 2025, and showing rat activity in February 2023. The property has also undergone various permitted work between 2019-2021, including multiple emergency work permits, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the aging structure built in 1900.
