530 East 13th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

530 East 13th Street is a 6-story, 38-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Chani Neuhauser. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years, with three separate complaints in early 2025, two in late 2024, and multiple incidents in 2020, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) often noted inability to gain access for verification of the reported problems. Other notable incidents include a cooking gas complaint in December 2020, and a chemical vapors/odors issue in January 2019, though no violations were found in the latter case. The building has maintained a consistent record of addressing bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units across multiple annual reports from 2019 through the present.

However, recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed evidence of rat activity, marking a change from previous years where inspections from 2020 through 2024 had consistently passed. The building's maintenance history shows various violations and repair needs, including a 2024 violation related to a door self-closing device, and multiple 2019 violations regarding marble stairs, door/window issues, and fire retardant materials. While there were several complaints about heat and hot water issues in recent years, most have been resolved through reported corrections or closure due to lack of access for inspection.
