94 St Marks Place, Manhattan, NY 10009

94 St Marks Place is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the East Village, owned by David Habif and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water supply, most recently documented in April 2025, when emergency complaints were filed regarding the entire building. There have also been persistent rodent problems, with multiple inspections in 2024-2025 indicating rat activity and several baiting attempts.

The building has a history of maintenance and safety concerns, including unsanitary conditions related to pests (November 2024), electrical issues (April 2023), and plumbing problems. Violations of particular note include ongoing concerns about fire escape safety documented in July 2022 (Class B violations), and repeated failures to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2023-2024, which remain active violations as of September 2024. The building has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices over the years.

In 2022, significant violations were recorded related to unauthorized single-room occupancy and illegal locking devices on fire escape doors. Between 2021-2022, there were also violations regarding building systems including electrical work without proper permits, though these have since been resolved. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2022 onwards, with the most recent filing in February 2025 showing zero infested units. While some maintenance issues have been addressed, such as wiring and general repairs documented in 2023, the recurring nature of heat/HW outages and pest issues suggests ongoing building management challenges.
