518 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
The five-story, 15-unit tenement building at 518 East 6th Street, owned by Richard Gioia and constructed in 1900, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, particularly regarding pest control and building maintenance. Most notably, there was an unsanitary conditions complaint related to pests in early 2023, which while inspected by HPD resulted in no violations, followed a pattern of bedbug-related administrative violations from 2021 to 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code.
The building has maintained a consistent record of rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2025 passing the rat activity check, though there were indications of rodent activity in summer 2023. Violation records show some history of building maintenance concerns, including an Environmental Control Board violation from 2023 regarding improperly supported window A/C units and facade issues, and a 2018 violation related to an unauthorized business sign installation.
The property has been the subject of various complaints and inspections regarding potential illegal hotel activity, with the most recent complaint in September 2024 resulting in no violations. However, in 2023 there was an enforcement work order violation served, suggesting some level of non-compliance at that time. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 to 2024 shows no documented infestations or eradications during any reporting period, though there have been multiple related violations regarding report filing requirements.
