319 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The building at 319 East 10th Street is a four-story Old Law Tenement constructed in 1848, currently owned by Chris Rogers and containing five units. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with the most recent complaint filed in December 2024 affecting the entire building. Interestingly, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to access any units to verify the reported conditions.

This complaint follows a pattern of heat-related issues, though no similar complaints have been filed since. The property has also faced bedbug-related administrative challenges, receiving violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023 regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports. However, the most recent bedbug filings from 2025, 2024, and 2022 show zero reported infested units. The building's rodent situation has shown varying degrees of concern, with two rat activity incidents reported in early 2025 and February 2024, though all subsequent inspections have resulted in "Passed" ratings.

This pattern suggests some ongoing maintenance challenges with pests, particularly during early 2024 and 2025. Despite these issues, the building has maintained compliance with most health and safety requirements, as evidenced by the successful resolution of various violations. The property's management seems to be actively addressing pest control, as demonstrated by the passing rodent inspections following reports of activity. While the building's age and history suggest periodic maintenance concerns are to be expected, the recent bedbug infestation-free status and passing rodent inspections indicate some improvement in general building conditions over the past few years.
