323 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

323 East 10th Street is a 5-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1890, currently owned by Michael Kane. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues, most notably a cluster of problems in 2022 including multiple reports of water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), flooring/stairs issues, and ceiling problems, all of which resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations. Apartment 9 appears to have been particularly affected, with multiple violations cited in May 2022 related to pest infestation, defective wood flooring, ceiling leaks, and plaster/paint issues, though subsequent inspections have not shown any bedbug problems since at least 2019.

The building has undergone several important inspections and investigations in recent years. In 2024, there was an incident involving unauthorized construction work and electrical work without permits, which resulted in a $1,600 penalty. Tenant safety inspections have been conducted regularly in 2023-2025, with most showing compliance, though there were some access issues noted.

Recent maintenance records indicate improved conditions, with passed rodent inspections in 2023-2025 suggesting good pest management. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with zero reported infestations in the past four years. An illegal conversion complaint was submitted in June 2025, but access was denied during inspection attempts. The property shows a mix of historical maintenance challenges, particularly in 2022, but with more recent compliance and inspection results indicating improved conditions.
