405 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The property at 405 East 6th Street is a four-story, two-unit, 1846 Old Law Tenement located in Manhattan's East Village neighborhood. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and HPD between 2023 and 2025, including two emergency complaints as recently as February 2025 that were unable to be properly inspected due to access issues.

Significant violations remain unresolved from January 2024 regarding missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 3, and from December 2023 concerning locked access to the heating system. The building's heating system maintenance has been a recurring concern, with multiple violations issued in February 2023 including inadequate heat supply to Apartments 2 and 3. The property has an active Department of Buildings violation from April 2023 related to failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, though no additional building construction or maintenance permits have been issued since June 2021.

The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with only one failure noted in February 2024. Notably, the property has reported no incidents of bedbug infestations over the past six years, according to the required reporting. The building's heating system issues, both in terms of equipment access and inadequate heat supply, represent the most significant ongoing maintenance concern, while safety equipment compliance (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) in Apartment 3 remains a notable violation.
