303 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

303 East 10th Street is a historic five-story, 14-unit New Law Tenement building located in the East Village, owned by Christine Renzi and built in 1900. The building has experienced various maintenance and structural issues over the past several years, with the most significant concerns occurring between 2019-2020 when there were multiple complaints regarding building shaking and structural stability. During this period, Apartment #7FB was noted to have problematic floor slopes (1"-2") and gaps at the bedroom floor edge, as well as wall and ceiling disrepair.

A rear yard egress issue related to a neighboring property’s masonry wall was temporarily addressed through a violation, though this was later rescinded. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest control, with mandatory bedbug reports submitted annually since 2021 showing no infestations or eradications in reported dwelling units. Recent inspections have shown improved conditions, with rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passing, though a rat activity finding was recorded in February 2025, shortly before a compliance inspection in April 2025 showed passing results.

The building has maintained regular compliance with housing maintenance code requirements, though it experienced some administrative violations related to bedbug report filings in 2022 and 2023. The property's violation history suggests improvements in both maintenance practices and resident conditions over time, with no recent structural complaints reported and consistent documentation of pest management efforts. The building's age and history as a New Law Tenement class property are reflected in its varied maintenance record, though recent years indicate improved oversight and compliance with housing regulations.
