172 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
172 East 7th Street is a 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1929 in the East Village, containing 25 residential units and currently owned by Eran Noy. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, most notably regarding water-related problems, with multiple water leak complaints documented between 2024 and 2025, along with ventilation and mold issues in September 2024.
There have been persistent rodent control efforts, with inspections showing variable results between Passed and Rat Activity from 2022 through 2025, including recent rat sightings in 2025. The building faced significant concerns in late 2021-2022 regarding unauthorized gas dryer installations in the basement, leading to several environmental control board violations with active penalties, though some were subsequently resolved. Recent violations from late 2023-2024 indicate problems with self-closing doors throughout the building between the 2nd and 6th stories, including issues with hinges and latches.
The property has also shown patterns of inspection access issues, particularly in complaints related to heat/hot water and various other maintenance matters where inspectors were unable to complete their evaluations. Though bedbug reports have consistently shown no infestations from 2019 through 2024, other maintenance concerns persist, including a currently active Department of Buildings violation regarding failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection. The building's management has documented regular compliance inspections for rodent control, with varying results suggesting ongoing vigilance in addressing pest management requirements.
