125 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
125 East 7th Street is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1861, currently owned by Tompkins Square Partners, LLC. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past few years, with multiple complaints filed between 2022 and 2025, including two open emergency complaints as of January 2025 concerning radiator and heat/hot water problems.
A significant environmental control board violation from 2023 remains active, related to a defective boiler with multiple safety concerns including steam leaks, improper combustion air, and a malfunctioning emergency switch, for which a $625 penalty was imposed. The building has also faced maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple open violations from 2020-2023 regarding failure to properly maintain safety equipment, including missing gas leak notice requirements and an improperly repaired entrance lock. Recent inspections show variable rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 passing, though there were multiple instances of rat activity noted in compliance inspections throughout 2024.
While the building's bedbug reporting history from 2021-2024 indicates no infestations were reported during the past four filing periods, there remains an open violation from 2023 regarding the failure to file low-pressure inspection records for 2018-2020, and another active violation from 2018 concerning unauthorized work involving door replacements. Despite these issues, recent rodent inspections have shown improvement, with several passing results in 2024 and 2025. The building's plumbing systems have been a recurring source of complaints, particularly regarding radiator issues, with multiple HPD complaints filed between 2022-2025.
