110 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The six-story, 23-unit tenement building at 110 East 7th Street in the East Village, dating back to 1898 and currently owned by Tammy Rice, has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, particularly regarding pest management. Most notably, there have been several pest-related complaints and violations in 2025, including three service requests for unsanitary conditions related to pests in June 2025, with one 311 service request from June 2025 still listed as open. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, particularly in early 2019 when multiple complaints were filed, including one that resulted in violations.

The property underwent significant scrutiny in 2021, with multiple emergency violations related to safety systems including sprinklers, fire escapes, and carbon monoxide detectors, along with non-emergency issues concerning walls and ventilation systems. During this period, violations were noted for improper waste storage, including an incident involving refuse accumulation in the air shaft, and construction-related concerns including an unauthorized metal spiral staircase installation in Apartment 1. The building's fire escape system was specifically cited for having defective gusset plates at both the 5th and 6th story balcony levels.

More recent inspections have shown improvements, with rodent inspections in 2025 passing successfully, though earlier inspections in 2023 and 2022 noted rat activity. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2020-2024 showing zero infested units or eradication attempts. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including plumbing and wall problems, many of these have been addressed promptly, as evidenced by the closure of most violations. The building does not currently have any open violations or fines as of October 2023, suggesting improved compliance with housing maintenance codes.
