520 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

520 East 6th Street is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building located in New York City's East Village neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Gioia Apartments LLC. The building experienced significant maintenance issues in early 2019, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building between January 26 and February 11, though these services were reportedly restored following HPD intervention.

Additional concerns during this period included water supply issues, water leaks resulting in damp spots, and unsanitary sewage conditions, all of which were investigated by HPD and marked as closed, with no violations issued in some cases. More recent inspection records show the building has maintained an active compliance history with regard to pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three annual filing periods from 2022-2025. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing a passing result, though there were instances of rat activity noted in early 2025 and other periods in 2022.

The building's records also show three consecutive annual violations (2021-2023) related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though these were marked as closed. A complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms was filed in September 2019 but was unsubstantiated based on Department records. The property's maintenance issues from 2019 appear to have been addressed, with no similar patterns detected in more recent years, though the building continues to have periodic rodent activity as noted in inspection results.
