160 East 3rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

160 East 3rd Street is a 6-story, 61-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1940 located in the East Village, currently owned by Bryce Rudyk. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns including multiple water-related problems (including a slow leak affecting Apartment 1A in October 2024), ceiling damage, and window frame issues. A pattern of rodent-related problems is evident, with rat activity documented through multiple inspections in 2025, and previous complaints dating back to 2021.

The building has also faced heating and hot water system concerns, notably in December 2023 when HPD was unable to access units for inspection. Violation notices from 2024 indicate required repairs to ceiling plaster/paint and a water leak in Apartment 1A, along with door issues. The property has documented safety-related concerns from 2020, particularly in Apartment CB1, including problems with the mechanical ventilation system, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and various maintenance issues that resulted in open violations.

The building's recent history shows consistent rodent control efforts in 2025 with bait application, and the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since at least 2019. A series of permits were issued between 2019-2021 for various maintenance and repair work, though specific details of these works are not provided in the records. While some historical complaints regarding illegal activity and unpermitted work were filed in 2019, inspections determined no violations warranted further action.
