140 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

140 East 7th Street is a 5-story, 79-unit residential building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Tompkins Square Apts. LLC. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, though inspections found varying results regarding the presence of heat and hot water, with some claims being confirmed during inspections while others were not accessible for verification.

In May 2023, several housing maintenance code violations were documented in apartment 1C, including issues with fire egress, mold presence, defective self-closing doors, and a pest infestation that were subsequently certified as corrected by mid-2023. Historical records also show attention to building security and safety systems, with violations in 2018 related to fire doors and an unauthorized locking device that were resolved. The building has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025, which indicates consistent attention to pest control.

Recent maintenance activity includes several plumbing-related permits issued between 2019 and 2023, suggesting ongoing infrastructure upkeep. The property has demonstrated good management of bedbug incidents, with no reported infestations in the past eight years according to the bedbug reporting system. While the heating system issues in recent years are concerning, the building's overall record shows compliance with most housing maintenance codes and regular maintenance of essential systems, including recent plumbing work.
