190 East 3rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
190 East 3rd Street is a 5-story, 23-unit residential building constructed in 1912 in New York City's East Village neighborhood, currently owned by Melanie Martin. The building has been facing persistent elevator issues, with multiple violations and complaints about the single-device elevator system between 2023 and 2025, including a significant ECB violation from March 2024 detailing various elevator defects with a penalty of $3,125. There are also active violations from 2023-2024 regarding rust concerns on fire escape components at both the north and south sides of the building, though some earlier violations concerning fire escape egress obstruction have been closed.
Recent maintenance history shows ongoing issues with heat and hot water systems, with an open appliance complaint regarding the electric/gas range as of February 2025. Pest control has been a recurring concern, with multiple unsanitary condition complaints related to pests and rodent activity reported between 2023-2024, though bedbug reports for 2022-2023 showed zero infested units. The building has experienced several notable infrastructure challenges, including repeated elevator outages that affect accessibility and emergency egress, particularly concerning since the property has only one elevator device.
Recent rodent inspections in 2024-2025 indicate ongoing rodent activity, despite some compliance passes. There have been multiple instances of failed access for inspections regarding heat/hot water and pest issues in 2024, suggesting potential difficulties in resolving maintenance problems. While the building has demonstrated compliance with some housing maintenance codes and completed certain repairs, the sheer volume of recent complaints and violations, particularly regarding elevator service and pest control, indicates ongoing challenges with building infrastructure and maintenance response. The property has shown some improvement in bedbug incidence reporting, maintaining zero infested units in its most recent filing, though rodent activity remains a concern as evidenced by multiple recent inspections and bait application records.
