220 Avenue B, Manhattan, NY 10009

220 Avenue B is a four-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the East Village, owned by Hector Bermudez and constructed in 1920. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with emergency complaints recorded in both October 2023 (entire building) and December 2024 (apartment-specific), though inspections did not confirm violations in either case.

Significant plumbing and water-related problems were documented throughout 2023, including heavy flow and slow leaks, as well as toilet issues. In April 2023, multiple violations were identified in apartment 2W, including pest infestations (roaches and mice), missing window guards, defective smoke detector, broken door components, and various maintenance issues, though these were subsequently addressed by May 2023. More recent concerns include a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection in May 2025 regarding unsanitary pigeon conditions, which found no violations.

The building underwent a tenant safety inspection in February 2024 with compliance noted, though access was not granted for a sprinkler system inspection in September 2024. Importantly, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted every six months from 2022 through 2025, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the last three years of required reporting, demonstrating improved pest control conditions. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2018, with all reports showing zero infested units.
