529 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
The five-story, 14-unit Old Law Tenement at 529 East 6th Street in the East Village, owned by Ricardo Castro, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concerns about heating and plumbing systems. Most recently, in February 2025, there were heat and hot water complaints that required HPD intervention, following similar issues in December 2024.
The building has also faced multiple plumbing-related problems between 2021 and 2024, including sink and water supply issues, and there were documented sanitation concerns in 2023 involving pigeon waste and mold. Of particular note is an open Class C violation from December 2024 regarding a mouse infestation in Apartment 2B. The property has experienced various building safety and maintenance challenges, including multiple water leak incidents in August 2021 and a documented history of gas-related issues in 2020-2021, suggesting potentially problematic gas hook-ups and piping modifications.
The building's systems have undergone several inspections, with rodent-related inspections revealing rat activity in 2024 and periods of bait application in early 2025, though the most recent inspections as of April 2025 showed "Passed" results. While there have been multiple housing maintenance code violations and complaints regarding building safety features, many of these have been resolved or closed, including issues with fire escape access and window guards. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024 shows minimal infestation cases, with most periods reporting zero affected units, though there was one documented case in 2019 that was reportedly eradicated.
