60 Avenue B, Manhattan, NY 10009

60 Avenue B is a 6-story, 22-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's East Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by Steven Croman. The building has experienced recurring heating issues in early 2025, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building between January and March 2025, some of which were marked as "emergency" complaints. An open complaint from January 2025 regarding mold presents another potential concern for resident comfort.

The building has had several recent maintenance violations of note, including heating system access issues and various fire safety concerns documented in December 2024, particularly in apartment 4A which had defects in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The property has a history of permit-related issues and unauthorized work, with multiple complaints about work being performed without proper permits between 2019 and 2023. Notably, there are active ECB violations from 2023 regarding unpermitted electrical work in the basement and apartment 4B, along with a significant violation from 2019 related to fire stopping that carries a $12,500 penalty.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to common areas and individual units, with previous violations addressed through permit work, including repairs to leaks, ceiling issues, and safety systems. While there have been past concerns about rodent activity, recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 indicate improved conditions, with the building recently passing rodent inspections in both July 2025 and January 2025. The building's heating system has been a recurring issue, most notably with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water throughout 2025, suggesting ongoing challenges with building-wide systems and maintenance access.
