509 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
The 6-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building at 509 East 6th Street, owned by Ismael Alba, was constructed in 1920 in New York City's East Village neighborhood. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing being a plumbing situation in June 2025 that resulted in a Partial Stop Work Order due to an inactive license associated with a plumbing job. This violation remains active as of the latest records.
The building has documented rodent-related issues, with two 311 complaints in 2022 and 2024 regarding food establishment concerns related to rodents/insects/garbage, though these were administratively closed after being addressed. The property has maintained relatively good bedbug management practices, with annual reports filed consistently between 2021 and 2025 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during each reporting period. Rodent inspections have shown compliance, with all inspections from 2022 to 2025 either passing or showing bait application indicating active management of the situation.
The building has received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations requiring bedbug report filings between 2021 and 2024, though these appear to have been addressed in subsequent years. A face covering violation was recorded in December 2021, but there are no additional health or safety complaints on record that would significantly impact resident experience. The most recent documentation shows improved compliance across various maintenance requirements, though the active plumbing violation from June 2025 remains a notable concern.
