503 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
The 8-unit, 5-story building at 503 East 6th Street in the East Village, owned by Charles Campos and constructed in 1920, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, with the most recent case in September 2024 resulting in an inspection where access was denied.
The building has shown periodic problems with waste management, including an open violation from 2022 regarding accumulated refuse in the rear yard. Heat and hot water issues were reported and resolved in November 2022, and there have been ongoing pest management concerns, with the most recent bedbug report from February 2024 showing no infested units between November 2022 and October 2023. The building's maintenance history reveals both structural and safety concerns, including an open violation from 2019 regarding inadequate entrance lighting and a more serious issue from 2019 related to exterior cornice disrepair that resulted in a penalty.
While recent rodent inspection results from 2025 and 2024 show passing grades, previous inspections in 2023 had documented rat activity, indicating fluctuations in pest management effectiveness. The property has also experienced challenges with exterior maintenance, including a 2024 violation related to flower pots obstructing fire escape egress. Despite these ongoing maintenance issues, the building has had successful inspections regarding basic safety requirements, including a passed rodent inspection in 2025, though the pattern of recurring complaints suggests persistent challenges with property upkeep and sanitation compliance.
