112 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

112 East 7th Street, a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement built in 1889 in the East Village, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2022-2023. The building has documented numerous pest-related complaints, with particular emphasis on rodent activity and sanitation concerns, notably during 2022-2023, when violations were issued in May 2022 and February 2023 related to pest infestations. There were also significant maintenance concerns in 2022, including mold issues, window frame problems, and both ceiling and wall defects that led to violations in August 2022 in apartment 15, though most violations from this period were subsequently closed.

Safety systems received attention in 2022-2023, with violations noted for carbon monoxide detectors and self-closing doors in apartment ST1 (first floor). The building's recent history shows some structural and safety concerns being addressed, such as a window A/C unit support issue identified in March 2023, which was later resolved. Records indicate periodic challenges with heat and hot water systems, particularly in 2018 and January 2022, though no violations were issued.

While the building has faced multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with some showing rat activity, the most recent inspection in March 2025 was passed, suggesting improvements in pest management. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2019, indicating successful eradication efforts. The building's ownership and management have shown responsiveness to violations, with most recent violations being closed, though some issues remained open as of the most recent inspections.
