339 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 5-story, 7-unit residential building at 339 East 10th Street in the East Village, owned by Arik Lifshitz, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in October 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, with one violation issued for inadequate hot water at all fixtures in apartment 4W.

During the same inspection, the building was found to have several safety concerns in apartment 4W, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, an infestation of roaches, and issues with a self-closing door. The building also has an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 for failure to file the 2021 external low pressure inspection.

The property has shown consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2020 through 2025. While the building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs and experienced only one instance of unsanitary pigeon conditions in 2022, there have been recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations in both 2021 and 2023. The building's documented history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding its heating infrastructure and safety systems, though it has generally passed housing maintenance and rodent inspections regularly, with no reported bedbug infestations in recent years and only one instance of vaccine mandate non-compliance in 2022.
