127 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
127 East 7th Street is a 5-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1861 in the East Village, currently owned by Steven Croman. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent concerns in 2024-2025 centering around rodent infestation, including failed inspections in May and July 2025, and citations for unsanitary conditions.
Significant violations were documented in 2024, including multiple problems in Apartment 3A (broken hardwood floors in several rooms, defective doors, and issues with plastered surfaces) and building-wide concerns about garbage storage. The building has also faced challenges with basic services, including a heat/hot water emergency complaint in October 2023 where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The property has a documented history of unauthorized construction activity, with several Department of Buildings complaints from 2022-2024 regarding work without permits and contrary to stop work orders, though inspections often resulted in "unable to gain access" findings.
There were also violations related to a defective boiler in early 2022, with penalties totaling $6,250 for unauthorized construction work in Apartment 3C involving wall removal and electrical modifications. While the building's bedbug reporting from 2019-2024 shows no infestations, the ongoing rodent issues, sanitation violations, and incomplete repairs suggest persistent maintenance challenges. The property currently has an active violation regarding the failure to file the 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection documentation and recent failed rodent inspections despite bait being applied regularly throughout 2024.
