335 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The five-story, nine-unit Old Law Tenement building at 335 East 10th Street in the East Village, owned by Howard Lifshitz, presents several significant maintenance and safety concerns as of July 2025. Most notably, in October 2023, the building experienced inadequate heat and hot water across the entire property, with specific issues documented in apartment 5W. The building's heating system access problems were also cited as a violation in October 2023.

ADOHMH inspection in January 2023 noted rodent signs, and as of April 2025, rat activity was confirmed during inspections. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance, with no infestations or re-infestations reported from 2019 through 2024. Previous violations include a March 2023 issue with a fourth-floor window AC unit requiring support bracket repairs, which resulted in a $250 penalty.

The property has undergone multiple rodent control interventions in 2023-2025, including repeated bait applications between March and August 2023. While earlier violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements were recorded in 2022 and 2023, these appear to have been addressed in subsequent filings. The building's age (constructed in 1860) and its recent history of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and rodent control, warrant attention to the ongoing challenges in maintaining basic services and addressing pest management needs.
